WHAT FELIX BARRETT WANTED

WHAT FELIX BARRETT DID NOT LIKE

To give audiences the excitement of feeling part of a real experience

To empower his audience

Audiences feel physically present

To get audiences out of their comfort zone

Choices made based on gut instinct

Visceral impact which created powerful memories

The routine - arriving, buying a programme, sitting in silence whether you like it or not, interval drinks, applause and so on

The conventions of theatre-going were too formulaic

Theatre was not ‘for’ the audience

The experience was rarely memorable

The experience meant that audiences switched off three quarters of their brains
