About The Project
So How Should I Be is a playable theatre experience for grades 6 and 7 designed to teach about managing anxiety. It was developed in the spring of 2023. Co-written with Linda Carson.
Experience Highlights:
1.
A trans-media experience that takes place over three experiences: A 30 minute activity led by a pre-recorded video sent to the classrooms, an interactive video call to the classrooms, and the final in-person immersive experience at the theatre.
2.
A performer led immersive experience. Participants are active participants in moving the story forward and helping the characters with their problems.
3.
The at-the-theatre experience is driven by collaborative puzzles and games that teach about balancing stresses, re-framing perceptions, and being empathetic to those around you.
