In collaboration with Participatory Collective ATTEMPTS, this workshop enables teachers and instructors to explore games and game design/theories in performance. Theatre games are popular in drama classrooms and school-based performances, but how do we utilise games in performance and create a unique experience for every audience, telling stories collectively with your audience?
This workshop will address this question by allowing participants to use video game design theories to reexamine the relationship between performance and spectator. What's better than having fun in drama? More games and more fun!
Recommended for Drama CCA Instructors and Drama CCA Teachers-in-charge.
