Adrienne Mackey is a multidisciplinary artist who explores the potential of performance and play. Her work spans theater, immersive game design and interactive audio performance. She teaches in the Drama and Digital Arts departments at the University of Washington in the US and also runs the genre-bending arts company Swim Pony which creates original transmedial performances.



Her work focuses on a variety of subjects ranging from environmentalism, mortality, to labor rights, with the goal of finding inventive modes of storytelling for audiences to explore the world around them. For this talk, she'll share some of her past immersive works and offer insights into their genesis and creative process.
