Shared Table Stories
Interactive, Immersive, multi-sensory stories for older children and adults
Your Shared Table story is a surprise, chosen through a game of chance using a paper fortune-teller. Listening on headsets, an evocative soundscape sets the scene for the story to come. During the story each person follows a unique set of instructions to find and animate objects on the table. Like a talking book brought to life, between paragraphs you are invited to explore the drawers and cupboards to reveal new objects and a new twist to the story.
Shared Table challenges the act of viewing puppetry, making each audience member an active interpreter of the text through their interactions with the objects and giving them the added sensations of touch, temperature and smell. By performing themselves, the participants are totally immersed, forming their own unique relationship to the story, objects, sensory environment, and each other. Every performance is different!
