The No Proscenium Podcast Noah Nelson/No Proscenium

Joining us this week are Eric Garcia & Kat Cole co-directors of Detour, the San Francisco based performing arts company, whose website says everything you need at a glance in big bold letters: “DEVISED THEATRE. DANCE. DRAG. IMMERSIVE.”
In 2023 they brought us We Build Houses Here, and this March they will be workshopping a new production set in the same world as that show: The Twilight Aristocracy.
This month the company is offering a series of workshops on devised theatre and drag performance — we’re going to talk to them about all of it. 
Hosted by Noah Nelson.

This week we continue our annual end of year tradition of inviting our colleagues to a round table to look back at what was.
For 2023 we're joined by Sabina Graves of i09, Todd Martens of the LA Times, and Scott Stein of CNET to talk about they year we’ve had in immersive — both on the live and digital side — how folks in media outside our field see it, and where they hope this is all going in the near future.

This week on the show we’re joined by Co-Founder and Senior Creative Director of Meow Wolf, Caity Kennedy;  Sr. Art Director of Mighty Coconut Don Carson, and returning guest Lucas Martell, founder of Mighty Coconut and creator of Walkabout Mini Golf — aka NoPro’s favorite social VR game.
Why?
Because of the recently released Walkabout: Meow Wolf expansion, silly. It’s the Reese’s Peanut Butter cups of VR experiences that takes two great things — Walkabout Mini Golf and Meow Wolf’s Numina space from Convergence Station in Denver — and turns it into something wholly unique which brings out the best IN both team’s work.
