The Other Way Works creates playful theatre that immerses our audiences in the story. The intimate scenarios we create allow our audiences to explore places and perspectives anew, provoking them to change the way they see the world.
We are at the leading edge of a new wave of theatre makers re-inventing the way people engage with culture, using real world spaces and emerging technologies. Our work integrates games, technology and immersive experiences with site-specific theatre.
Katie joined iShed from December 2009 to 2010 as an Associate Producer, to run the Theatre Sandbox programme during 2010.
Theatre Sandbox was a national scheme to support the production of six new experimental pieces of theatre/performance which utilise pervasive media technologies.
