It’s Time to Make a Choice

Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley

In an interactive sci-fi role-playing game, the audience’s decisions become the driving force behind the performance. Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, together with two musicians, creates a live story that is guided by the emotions, voices and presence in the room.The audience as part of a science fiction story: in the world of “It’s Time To Make a Choice”, the weather is controlled by people’s emotions. Led by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, the audience determines the fictional weather conditions through singing and joint interactions. This playfully creates an evening that is different every time. Joined by musicians Lucy Liebe and Waveovspace, a musical and improvised role-playing performance emerges, steered by the fears, worries, loves and dreams of the audience.Guided by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, the audience determines the fictional weather conditions through singing and joint interactions.
