Work Sample for DCASE. This work sample is a curated video compilation demonstrating my prior experience in immersive, audience-responsive performance—directly informing the development of For You.

The video opens with a promotional reel from The Halogen Company, featuring excerpts from multiple immersive productions, including One Exit, The Crux, Yule, and Yule: A Virtual Variety Hour. This section establishes the scope of my immersive practice, highlighting nonlinear storytelling, environmental design, and the integration of ritual, choice, and audience agency.

The second segment focuses on a performance from Yule: A Virtual Variety Hour featuring collaborator Nina D’Angier, who serves as World Builder on For You. This excerpt demonstrates real-time audience interaction, where digital participants influence performer behavior and narrative outcomes. It is an early exploration of the live/digital hybridity that For You expands upon.

The third segment features a promotional excerpt from One Exit, Halogen’s first immersive production, illustrating my foundational work in sustained, choice-driven immersive environments.

The video concludes with audience reactions from Science Fiction, Double Feature: A Rocky Horror Immersive Show produced by Haven Chicago, where I served as immersive consultant. These reactions demonstrate audience engagement, emotional investment, and the effectiveness of immersive design in fostering communal experience.

Together, these samples show a clear throughline in my practice: research-based immersive storytelling, performer training for responsive interaction, and the use of audience agency as a core dramaturgical tool. For You builds directly on this body of work by formalizing an incubation model that places the audience at the center of development and expands immersive practice into a hybrid live/digital form.
