Memos From A Theatre Lab Exploring What Immersive Theatre 'Does'

What does Immersive Theatre âdoâ?

By contrasting two specific performances on the same theme â one an âimmersiveâ experience and the other a more conventional theatrical production â Nandita Dinesh explores the ways in which theatrical form impacts upon actors and audiences. An in-depth case study of her work Pinjare (Cages) sets out the âhowsâ and âwhysâ of her specific aesthetic framework. Memos from a Theatre Lab places Dineshâs practical work within the context of existing analyses of Immersive Theatre, using this investigation to generate an underpinning theory of how Immersive Theatre works for its participants.
