The Performance
Upon entering the venue, the audience members register their mobile number into our database – managed by Textploitation! At set times, our computer will display instructions on the stage on how to answer certain questions via their handsets. The audience members will be given a certain amount of time to read and answer the question, as well as time to read the answers as they are gathered. As the questions are answered, animations on stage will perform certain movements to indicate to Grace which decision has been made. After a set period of time, the winning choice is displayed for all to see and Grace can then continue with the the story. In effect, the audience inadvertantly becomes a performer. The musical elements of the performance will be created by DJ Amplified. Future exploration into the use of still and moving images is also anticipated once the technology becomes robust enough for LIVE events.
