Everything Immersive This Week (5/26/2018)
Summer’s here and the time is right
It’s been a busy week in immersive-land as warmer weather approaches. At NoPro, we featured a truckload of new performances happening all over the USA and Canada, interviewed Haley Cooper of Strange Bird Immersive out of Houston, and hosted some friends from Room Escape Artist and ARGN.com on the 150th episode of the podcast!
Plus: Parisian VR studio DV revealed some of what they’re been working on in the immersive theatre-VR hybrid space, Disney announced the opening date of the Star Wars-themed expansion world at Disneyland, our friends at Meow Wolf had a lovely feature on Artsy, Indiecade put out a call for submissions from the immersive theatre and escape room genres, and the folks behind the immersive musical sensation KPOP in NYC announced a return to Off-Broadway in 2019! Wow.

ON THE PODCAST THIS WEEK
Lisa & David Spira of Room Escape Artist and Michael Andersen of ARGN.com join us to talk about how we talk about this immersive thing of ours.
From how to handle spoiler discussions online to designing for discovery after the fact, this conversation is all about the unique problems that face immersive entertainment of every form — from live theatre to escape rooms to Alternate Reality Games (ARGs).
Good thing we’ve got people who specialize in each of those on the show today!
