Audience Interactive Performance in "The Last Man to Die"

Abstract

The Last Man to Die is an ongoing interactive performance project by Last Man to Die, a cross artform group consisting of actor, Hanna Cormick, visual artist, Benjamin Forster and percussionist, Charles Martin. One of the goals of this project is to allow the audience to “play” with our system and enjoy unexpected and unguarded responses. This paper explains technical and artistic aspects of our open-ended performance, designed to meet this goal, and our focussed method of interaction with the audience, QR codes printed on their tickets.
