Episode 018 - Sam Roberts of Indiecade Sep 04, 2015

Show notes

Sam Roberts--the festival director of Indiecade, the independent festival of games-- knows a thing or two about theatre. He’s been directing and designing it for two decades now. Sam sits down with host Noah Nelson to talk about how game design can—and already does—influence immersive theatre in this thoughtful, philosophical chat.

Honestly, we could have gone on for hours.

Program note: the first half of the interview had a technical glitch with the mic (short answer: I made a rookie mistake) but the second half is spot on. (And now I know which button I’m looking for!)

Episode 017 - Capital W (Hamlet-Mobile) Aug 28, 2015

Show notes

So, time to come clean: last week's episode was "in character." A kind of epilogue to the fantastic Hamlet-Mobile produced at this year's Hollywood Fringe Festival.

This episode is a real--no really--interview with the cast and actual creators of Hamlet-Mobile. Producer Monica Miklas and writer-director Lauren Ludwig join the actors-- Heather Ann Gottlieb, Lizzie Prestel, Hunter Seagroves, JB Waterman--and host Noah Nelson to talk about the actual creation of Hamlet-Mobile.

We assure you, these are real people.

Okay, one of them might be a raccoon in a human suit.

All that plus a boatload of news. Seriously. Like, too much news.

Episode 016 - The Moving Shadow Aug 21, 2015

Show notes

Long time listeners of the podcast--we've only been around for four months, so not that long--know that there is a special place in our hearts for Hamlet-Mobile, the immersive theatrical installation from this year's Hollywood Fringe Festival that took place in a van.

In this very special episode of No Proscenium host Noah Nelson talks with the members of The Moving Shadow-- Lizzie, Heather Ann, James, and Hunter--the troupe of actors who fulfilled the last wishes of theatrical genius Marlon Pine in order to bring the microtheatre masterwork that was... is Hamlet-Mobile into our lives.

We apologize in advance for any distress the explicit language in this episode may cause.

Listener discretion advised.

Episode 015 - Open Forum I (Minisode) Aug 18, 2015

Show notes

You know what, this is your show, and for all the talk we talk about "audience agency" it is about time that we went ahead and opened up the "phone lines." This is our first, and hopefully not our last, Open Forum episode featuring reviews and comments from the community.

We'll be doing another one of these next month, so find out where the Voice Memo app is on your phone or fire up GarageBand and shoot us a memo at no_proscenium@outlook.com.

Episode 014 - "Presence & Agency" Minisode Aug 09, 2015

Show notes

This minisode--recorded in a car and at the Oculus Story Studio's press event for Henry--features some clips from Oculus' Edward Saatchi, producer of the Story Studio, on how his team views their exploration of immersive entertainment. (Oculus, for those who don't keep up with tech stuff, is the company that makes virtual reality headsets and has captured the imagination of the tech world.)

Next Week: our first Open Forum send in your reviews/questions/comments to no_proscenium@outlook.com.

Episode 013 - Minisode Jul 31, 2015

Show notes

Hey gang, just a few quick notes this week before we head up to the SF Bay Area.

Episode 012: No Pro After Dark aka "This Thing Of Ours" Jul 24, 2015

Show notes

The heads of No Pro East and West meet up to talk about the ellusive "I" word, what keeps them passionate about this whole "open frame theatre movement" and just what the hell goes on in their heads when they are putting together the newsletter.

If you're a producer looking to know what it takes to make the cut: this one is for you. If you're an enthusiast looking to understand some of the intriciies and mysteries of the scene, yeah, we do some of that too.

This one was incredibly fun to make.

Content Advisory: Noah curses just like he does in real life.
