MindLand: Improvised solo performance in WebXR- No headset needed!

Minds can be strange places. I used to splurge the contents of mine on stage, with no planning. Now I'm doing it in VR. Care to join me? Dear Friend, I am cordially inviting you into my mind. I will perform MindLand in a VR headset from my home at 7.30pm and 9pm GMT on Fri 28, Sat 29 and Sun 30 January. You can access the show on headset, desktop, mobile. I will send you a link when you book. Please wear headphones, whatever device you use to view the show. CONTENT WARNING: Because this entire show is improvised I cannot give meaningful trigger warnings. Most likely triggers include: Anxiety, mental health, body and food issues, recreational drug and alcohol use, swearing. However the list is potentially infinite. If you need or want to, please leave the show by closing your browser and email me at mindlandfoolshow@gmail.com with any concerns. Your email will be answered and your concerns taken seriously. MindLand brings the art of "Fooling" into the metaverse as a single performer (Naomi Smyth) shifts between an array of "Masks" (my own internal voices expressed through stylized physical performance) to create an improvised, participatory and autobiographical story with a virtual audience. MindLand brings the craft of in-person Fool shows to a global audience, by using virtual reality to represent my Masks as Avatars and give the audience freedom to explore the environment/stage. You can choose a ‘Participant’’ or ‘Spectator’ ticket. ‘Participants’ will be offered opportunities to talk and interact with me, each other and the set- though none of this is compulsory. ‘Spectators’ are not visible or audible to me or the audience avatars and can roam freely but not affect anything.
