Jesse Damiani, longtime friend of the show, drops by to talk about his continuing adventures in the world of XR. (That's virtual, augmented, and mixed reality for those playing the home game.) Recently he curated the art show Spatial Reality, which brought together multiple artists from across the reality spectrum for what was one of the biggest -- if not the biggest -- gatherings of XR art to date. We sit down with Jesse, drink my favorite beer, talk about that show and wax philosophical as we are won't to do. Come, join us. This episode is brought to you by listeners like you and The Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts, who are seeking faculty candidates. Hosted on Acast.

In the past year actress Karlie Blair has become a mainstay of the LA immersive theatre scene. She's performed in such shows as Whisperlodge, the original production of Safehouse '77, and The Lust Experience. With actress Keight Leighn she co-founded DR3AMLOGiKK, which has presented the improvised experience Snow Fridge, and a workshop production Broken Clocks. She's also one of the leads in Shine On Collective's Echoes in the Dark. We caught up with the busy lady to talk about her work and her background as a graduate of UC Berkeley's theatre program. Brought to you in part by The Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts, who are seeking faculty candidates. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We met Amanda Rose Villarreal at the Denver Immersive Summit, where we shared a panel with her and Jenny Weinbloom of Meow Wolf Denver on Consent & Agency in immersive. Amanda Rose is getting her Ph.D in Theatre Arts at Colorado University at Boulder, and her practice involves training "police officers, lawyers, and counselors to use effective communication and de-escalation techniques during crisis intervention and conflict management." Amanda Rose is both a practitioner and a researcher, so we're getting a full spectrum look. That work has given her incredible insight into the challenges facing immersive creators around issues of agency and consent, and we dig into that on today's episode, recorded live in the field at The Molecule Effect cafe in Denver. This week's episode brought to you by listeners like you and The Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts.   Content Advisory: language and mature themes. Hosted on Acast.

Tad is all this, and more.  Get ready for a special in-the-field edition of No Proscenium as we join Tad on the Wolf Trail, where we've encountered a Moonglow.
