future

In class we talked a lot about what the future of the audience is. This is also the idea behind Saturday's performance. The idea is that the audience of the future will be more interactive, actually participating in what's going on onstage. I think this is an interesting idea, but one that may not work in all situations. I think in smaller-scale performances, the interactivity may work depending on the performance. But if you start applying this to larger-scale theaters, I do not think it would work. I just can't imagine action going on onstage while half the audience is looking at their phones working out that well. But it is definitely an interesting prospect that could lead to some great things.
