Two other big plus points about #voidspacelive for me:

1) the audience included several very heavy hitters in the field - I could name-drop but everyone deserves privacy, whether a big name or not. Absolutely the right company of playful folk with whom to see, and play, the shows in their best […]

Day two at #voidspacelive started with Continuum, very ambitious for a company who've only put on one performance per year for three years.

The most reductive description of it would be a five-hour immersive mute clown show. It had a _fil rouge_ feel of a day at a Test Match to dip into and out […]

Totally failed to get any pictures at #VoidspaceLive today so here's a selfie I took on the way home. Lovely audience for Hamlet today, what a privilege. Audiences are magic. On again tomorrow at 11am so resting up. Looking forward to tomorrow! #actorslife #immersive

Despite 8+ hours in the car, realising the venue has moved since my last visit, & a disagreement about parking at my AirBnB, I am awake, alert, and looking forward to @voidspacezine.bsky.social live events this weekend.

Who will become the Sixth Suspect?

I'm at #VoidspaceLive and have already created some clay art that embody the core values of the Royal Society of Badgers. Next up: Finding my super power.

#voidspacelive as a whole was _m-u-c-h_ more than the sum of its parts. I'd say all six shows I went to were hits rather than "a swing and a miss" (maybe two of them were bunts at worst) but I wouldn't say any of them was a home run in its current state.

And that's OK! This is absolutely what a […]

#voidspacelive - my interpretation of Only Exit is a room is provided as a blank canvas, with chairs, tables, tape, paper, chains, lamps, computers and more as mplements to non-destructively, non-permanently graffiti it, and both live speech and a recorded monologue to encourage us to […]

Huge thanks to everyone at Sweet Venues for everything you do!

Thank you to three wonderful, distinct audiences who all loved, fought, laughed and died beautifully.

Next chance to catch this award-winning show from is at #VoidspaceLive, June 7-8th

This is a _very_ important career thing. Need help in next 10 mins. Please leave me a voice note reference on 07934 735935 (will redact later) substituting your name and my name as appropriate into one of these templates:

I’m at #voidspacelive this weekend, a festival of interactive performance and playable art at Theatre Deli in That London. Expect a thread of hot takes about my experiences.

#voidspacelive Saturday pm: _Save The Racoons_, a reflection on how many hoops the world makes immigrants jump through to fit in, presented as a three-round audience participation game. (Game show? Arguably, but can a show of a game be a game show if it's not shown to anybody? I'd say not.) […]

#voidspacelive Sunday eve: _Mind Control Disco_: an AI creates and guides a disco party so that all can join in without feeling self-conscious; rebels occasionally gatecrash the audio for those who do not need such direction on the dancefloor.

Bad fit for me - I had only the stamina for about […]

#voidspacelive - very much enjoyed catching up with @lizcable.bsky.social, of escape rooms and much, much more fame, for the first time in years. Liz was not surprised to find me in a show called “Only Exit”. Hadn’t made the connection myself, at least consciously, but well played.

#voidspacelive - 60 Minute Summer Camp. An affectionate parody which absolutely understood the assignment. If you’re prepared to get silly and gung ho, which I am, then top quality jollity.

Sat am at #voidspacelive: light fantasy-trope LARP _Meet at the Tavern_ by Omen Star, the people behind The Smoke. Superb onboarding, lots of evidence of best practice having been absorbed over the years. Fun pregen characters, other players were great.

Bad fit for me. The focus was explicitly […]

Sat pm at #voidspacelive - Only Exit.

One of the games, or non-games, that I most enjoyed reading about and wished that I had got to play was 2008’s Fort Gype at http://npugh.co.uk/blog/hideseek_4_gype_and_etcetera/ - gamers make up a non-game for the sake of p-l-a-y PLAY out of bits of other […]

(#voidspacelive, Continuum, Et Al Productions)

...to keep things in motion and to keep everyone as involved as they want to be. As funny as you'd hope in parts, beautiful in others, scope for delightful playfulness and enough constraint to keep it on the right side of the line between chaos and […]
