This week we explore how systems of care for performers, backstage workers and audiences can be integrated into both the rehearsal process and live aspects of immersive experiences. We discuss the challenges and developments in creating cultures of care as well as the methodologies and mechanics used to keep everyone involved safe both in the making and delivery of live work..  Our Guests Dan Burman has been an immersive performer, fight director and maker for over a decade. From larger scale maximalist projects such as Secret Cinema and Boomtown Fair, to smaller and more intimate happenings he has honed his craft to integrate systems of care within the chaotic play space of the immersive sphere, both for those who inhabit and make the world, and those who come to play in it.
