Multi-sensory theatre .. anticipation
i am a huge fan of Roundangle theatre .. the multi-sensory works of Will and Jodie. eg Source/Sauce which was so good that it won many awards.
So it was a buzz to be drawn into their blindfolded conga line at hi vibes.
“Hey Will, how are you?” i said.
“Do you want to join our conga line?” he replied, “.. just put on this blindfold.”
The experience was pretty much my highlight of the day. Several people blindfolded, walking through that enormous crowd, joined only at the shoulders. Will sent directions from the back via hand-on-shoulder touch: stop, go, left or right. Crowds swarmed around us, murmuring and shouting ..
How could i resist booking a ticket for closing night of the play, Deceased Estate .. this saturday.
Here’s Jodie talking about the Source/Sauce experience.
