Additional information:
How can we use non-traditional spaces to find new audiences for work? Scott
Emerson Moyle works with participants, young and old to answer that
question. Breaking open conventions of staging, honouring the spirit of the
text while playing loosely with the rules, and being fearlessly weird in
public are all a part of ongoing trial and error.
