Immersive Theatre with Rodrigo Beilfuss

In ‘Immersive Theatre’ we will explore the relationship between performance and the environment – the literal, physical space around us – and how each influences the other. We will consider how staging techniques, and the audience’s experience and expectations can be shaped by what’s around us. We will cover concepts, challenge the very idea of what Theatre and traditional theatrical spaces are and can be, and seek sources of inspiration from what we see outside of ourselves.
