Dungeons & Dragons games are being played live to packed theatre audiences, including at the Sydney Opera House, as the once-niche pastime becomes mainstream.
In the Twenty Sided Tavern , narrative choices are determined by two things: the roll of a die and an interactive app in the hands of the audience.Imagine stepping onto the stage of the Sydney Opera House, ready to act in a live performance, but with no idea about how it's going to unfold.
But as he set out to make interactive live shows, he realised there was no mechanism by which an audience could influence the story. "The point of the show is that we are all there, including the audience, to play a game and we're all participating in the craft of the story world." "Having this consistent storytelling is a great thing. It's really fun because you can play up the characters and it gives you a lot of energy when you know that people are there for the twists and the turns and the reactions and the storytelling."Māori storyteller Daley Rangi wants their audience to be part of the performance when they take to the stage to perform Dissent as part of Liveworks Festival in October.
"For me, all I can do is just create a space where there's no judgement, either for myself or the audience, and people can engage with the work and engage with me in a way that — safe isn't the right word — but it's consent-based.
