THE UNDER PRESENTS by @TenderClaws launched today!
It has so many immersive storytelling innovations, including live immersive theater actors for 4 months.
I unpack the experiential design process with director @samanthaKgorman & producer @TanyaLealSoto:

ICYMI: I got a sneak preview of THE UNDER PRESENTS at Sundance 2019. Here& #39;s my previous interview with @TenderClaws + immersive theater troupe PIEHOLE, who collaborated on the development of the characters & curation of musical performances:

I also highly recommend reading @JesseDamiani& #39;s write-up of THE UNDER PRESENTS as he does a very eloquent job of describing the significance of the narrative & user interaction innovations: #c1194c474556">https://www.forbes.com/sites/jessedamiani/2019/11/19/the-under-presents-is-a-novel-exploration-of-vr-and-live-immersive-theatre/ #c1194c474556">https://www.forbes.com/sites/jes...

The @NoProscenium VR correspondent @Immersivist played through a lot of the story & goes into quite a bit more detail (spoiler-free) of his impressions from more of an immersive theater critic perspective.
Recommended read after you play through it a bit. https://noproscenium.com/the-under-presents-conjures-magic-in-virtual-reality-review-b2e23be4a1b9">https://noproscenium.com/the-under...

CNET& #39;s @jetscott also published a positive review of THE UNDER PRESENTS & is really optimistic about the cross section of VR & immersive theater. He has some interviews with Piehole members on acting in VR: https://www.cnet.com/news/the-future-of-immersive-theater-is-here-and-it-is-in-a-vr-headset/">https://www.cnet.com/news/the-...

Good thread from @iBrews talking about the intersection of VR & immersive theater. He expands a bit on the themes explored in the novel "The Invention of Morel," which @TenderClaws& #39; @samanthaKgorman cited as narrative inspiration for THE UNDER PRESENTS https://twitter.com/iBrews/status/1196871672760012801?s=19">https://twitter.com/iBrews/st...
