Build Your Own Cult
An Immersive Theatre Risk Management Workshop
Do you work on immersive productions? Are you interested in improving your audience care practices in response to the unique psychological and social risks that immersive performances often generate? This half-day workshop is designed to help improve risk identification and care techniques for audiences. Stage managers, house managers, ushers, production managers … if you are responsible for caring for the audience (which can be a blurry line in participatory art), this workshop is for you. We’ll look at the different kinds of risks the audience is exposed to in immersive productions, how to plan for non-standard reactions, what informed consent looks like, and the value of cool-down spaces. We’ll analyse what sort of risk taker you are and how that contributes to how you relate to the audience. This workshop is part of a University of Greenwich PhD project.

Audience Role
Workshop participants will work together to co-create an initiation ceremony for a cult. The ceremony will not be performed, but it will be discussed in detail by the group as part of the risk management workshop. **Please note that this workshop is a culmination of doctoral research and part of a PhD thesis - participants will need to sign a consent waiver as part of a university ethics board requirement.**
