Reconfigured As part of their Live Theatre course, Dulwich’s AS Theatre Studies students see some of the best contemporary drama London has to offer. Here Ollie Norton-Smith (Year 12) reports on his experiences of immersive theatre.
I staggered out of the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, my head spinning, and looked down at my shoes. I was soaked to the skin and covered in glitter. As I pulled a piece of confetti from my mouth, I realised the significance of what I had just been involved in. This was not least because I had truly ‘been a part of ’ what I had just done, and not just ‘seen’ it as a passive observer. Fuerza Bruta is a legendary Argentine immersive spectacular that overloads the senses and intoxicates its audience with its acrobatic daring, throbbing drum beats and action coming from every direction when you least expect.
