The Encyclopedia of Interactive Performance

Two players play a scene with one as the inter-actor and the other as the spect. The inter-actor draws ideas from the spect by giving them choices and asking open-ended questions, echo questions, and “why” questions. Additionally, the inter-actor pays attention to the spect’s behaviors and actions. The inter-actor’s objective is to follow and incorporate each choice, idea, and behavior of the spect

Notes

• Don’t overwhelm the spect with too much information.
• Keep the follows varied (e.g., actional follow, verbal follow, mirrored energy and point of view)
