Gaming and Theater

Calling Up Justice is interested in creating performances with empowered audience and artists. Having the ability to change what happens is the ultimate power. Theater performance and game mechanics are closely related, with forms such as improv theater, LARPing, and live stream D&D shows demonstrating the various ways in which these two fields can intersect and enhance each other. Whether through the use of rules and structure, interactive improvisation, or immersive storytelling, these forms of performance offer the opportunity to create engaging and imaginative experiences for audiences and participants.
