The Melbourne festival was established in 2004. 2021&#8217;s theme was &#8216;soft voices, loud roars&#8217; and aimed to emphasise the importance of the collective power while acknowledging and valuing each individual\u2019s unique voice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My lecture was called <em>&#8216;Meaningful Choices: Gameplay in Theatre and Film&#8217;<\/em>. <br>More and more independent filmmakers, theatre directors and multidisciplinary artists are discovering interactivity and gameplay elements as meaningful tools to communicate with their audiences. There is, however, still a lot of misunderstanding as to how use interactive storytelling and choice-based tools in a meaningful way. This talk is meant to close the gap between independent game designers and theatre\/film artists and will discuss tips and tricks to use interactivity in a meaningful way to stimulate audience participation and aid in bringing relevant themes and stories closer to live performance audiences and moviegoers.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"714\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jedidjahjulianoomen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenhub-article-1024x714.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jedidjahjulianoomen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenhub-article-1024x714.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.jedidjahjulianoomen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenhub-article-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jedidjahjulianoomen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenhub-article-768x535.png 768w, https:\/\/www.jedidjahjulianoomen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenhub-article.png 1351w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I gave a lecture for the Freeplay festival in Melbourne on using gameplay and interactivity in theatre (and other media).
