Creating A Unique Theatrical Experience - with Samuel Sene and Katja Quist

This week, Kevin talks to musical director, Samuel Sene, and actor Katja Quist, the part of the creative team behind C-O-N-T-A-C-T, an interactive theatrical performance utilising technology, live performance and the great outdoors, to bring a completely unique dramatic experience to the streets of the world! KEY TAKEAWAYS The challenges of lockdown forced many creatives to think even more creatively. This led to the C-O-N-T-A-C-T experience, which provides audiences with a safe way to enjoy fresh dramatic live theatre. Theatre has existed in many forms, and has even utilised many of the techniques on show, but this is the first time that so many techniques have been brought together. A production like this is not without its challenges. Aside from technical concerns, the involvement of the audience in such an intimate way has led to a greater sense of immersion. Social distancing is not a natural state for human society to exist in. The play brings this message home in a unique time in our history, which has made the message more meaningful.
