Immersive gives us life
No Proscenium and Everything Immersive This Week is brought to you by:
Hey folks. It’s halfway through the year 2018 already. Can you believe it?
This week here at NoPro, we reviewed Rochester, 1996 by Capital W and DryCræft Los Angeles and interviewed one of the creators of The Wild Women of Planet Wongo in Chicago. We also had one of our biggest issues of the North America newsletter yet with a whopping 11 shows. Plus, American Theatre did a great piece on what Bricolage in Pittsburgh is doing to make their immersive shows more accessible, Disney announced their first VR short, and Noah and a host of our friends went to the Sandbox Immersive Festival in China. More on that later. It’s a bye-week for the NoPro podcast, but don’t you worry, we’ll be back with more interviews soon.
NoPro runs on the support of our presenting sponsor Meow Wolf and people just like you. Want to help this machine keep going?
