For us, we build audience participation moments from a place of consent. I often use the phrase “being a good clown” or “being a good host” and make sure that folks feel included. My first solo show was getting audience members to yell things out. We play games together. In a more recent show, we were in the audience, crawling through them.
The thing we're going for is, what can audiences not get at home on their screens? That's something we try to present as an alternative. I've done a show in which we're all dressed up as houses, roaming around through the public space. People get to interact and play with us, and that is always very interesting. It's something very unique in terms of what your day-to-day, going on Netflix or something like that might look like.
I hope that answers your question.
