Interactive Theater

The Institute

An interactive play in which the audience takes on the roles of newly recruited special agents who must infiltrate the mind of a brainwashed agent in order to restore him to his old self. Audience members must solve a series of puzzles that involve separating false memories from true ones, identifying scents, and piecing together a music box to play segments of a song in the correct sequence. The Institute was part of the Game Play Festival in 2015 at the Brick Theater in Brooklyn, NY and was made possible by the ITP-Google Experiments in Storytelling Grant.

Transparency

An improvised live drawing and storytelling performance utilizing plexiglass and true anecdotes by Sharang Biswas and Clio Davis with help from Rena Anakwe and Sharon De La Cruz. Performed at the Museum of the Moving Image as part of Shantell Martin’s Drawing on Everything class final show.

Ofrenda De Los Muertos

An interactive haunted house experience in which guests are led through the land of the dead and meet restless spirits, including a self-righteous priest in denial of his own sins and the victim of a serial killer who waits patiently to get her revenge.

Music

I occasionally write and record music for various projects, some of which can be found below.

“Distrust” – the infernal collection soundtrack

This track was recorded for Sharang Biswas’s “The Infernal Collection”, a 5e adventure about high fashion and misplaced ambitions, featured in Adventure Mixtape: Volume 1.

“Save the queen” – in media res

This is an incredibly goofy track I recorded for “In Media Res”, a live game by Sharang Biswas and Brendon Trombley, performed at Pioneer Works in September 2017.  It’s propaganda music for the queen of a beehive.

“Brian’s song” – The Institute

Diegetic song from The Institute, an interactive play about a shady organization the researches psychic phenomena. This song was used in a music box puzzle and was featured in a memory-hacking scene.

The Institute was a part of The Brick Theater’s 2015 Game Play Festival.
