In this Lunchtime Talk, using case studies from their work on re-wilding their audiences, Dr. Rosie Poebright will uncover a messy reality which is more feral, that had to be felt out in the dark and grasped for by rusty instincts. 

Rosie makes the case that at a time when our attention is battery farmed by screens and extracted through addiction, how might we make stories which foreground aliveness and empower action? 

By diving into case studies from their own creative practice, Rosie explores what happens when we break the rules of traditional storytelling to let audiences truly participate.
