SPACE OPERA
Playtests + World Premiere
The fate of the universe hangs in the balance! Planets revolt, wonders appear, governments crumble, and you roll the dice. Space Opera is a massive theatrical role-playing game where players join forces to prevent an oncoming cataclysm. Over multiple sessions, audiences decide the course of the story while actors, designers, and gamemasters bring it to life around them. Space Opera invites us to believe that we can save a world in crisis.
September Playtest: 2:15-5:30pm at Drexel's ExCITe Center

COMMUNITY EVENT SERIES
Let's Play: Interactive Works-in-Progress
Come to an energizing sharing of work-in-progress from interactive artists throughout Philly, testing new ideas that need audiences to figure out how they flourish. Whether you want to play hard or sit back and watch, expect food, fun, and the kind of who-knows-what-will-happen art that’s only possible with you there. Are you an interactive or participatory performance artist? Sign-ups go live in early September!
Let's Play: October 21st at TBA
SPORTS!
Field Day
Play hard, eat food, chug some electrolytes, and lace up your sneakers at our first public event of Sports! Participate in traditional and new-fangled field games in this first exploration of the simple (or maybe really complicated) rush we get from athletics and competition. Smashing together communal rituals, fast-paced decisions, and lots of sweat, Sports! welcomes both the star athlete and the last kickball pick with roaring enthusiasm.
Field Day: September 28th 1-3pm at Lemon Hill Park

REMAPPING
Map your neighborhood, your city, your world. Map yourself. Is the map in your head the same as mine? Let’s compare. Let’s cross things out. Let’s go again. Remapping is an exploration of how we make the invisible visible and what that tells us about who we are and how we come together. Remapping might be a dance, might be a tabletop game that spills off the table, might be a quest for survival.
Public showings TBA - stay tuned for more!
