Is this just for playable and interactive performance makers?

While we're primarily focused on makers getting their needs met, we welcome enthusiasts and other folks engaged in participating in this kind of artwork to come through and hang!

How do you define playable and interactive performance?

For us, these are performances in which the audience plays a critical role and that highlight the role of the audience in the performance through moments of co-creation, where audience members contribute to the performance in addition to viewing it.
