We want this to be a highly interactive experience: an inviting and inclusive world of technology and mathematics that you can explore largely at your own pace.<br>
<br>
To accomplish this, we’re doing some beta testing. That's where you come in!</span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><b>January 17-19, 6-7pm,</b> we'll be holding three completely FREE workshops to explore some ideas about telling stories through games, puzzles, ciphers and other interactive artifacts. We invite you to come play along with us, have fun, and give your input. You can help us to shape this ambitious new project! And did we mention it would also be fun? Fun!<br>

The workshop will be held in the Gund Dance Studio at the IDEA Center @Playhouse Square.

We’re a nomadic company who seeks out new and exciting spaces to perform, whether that’s the Cleveland Museum of Art (where we did a three-month collaboration with <i>The Excavation @ the CMA</i> last year) or a repurposed recording studio at 78th Street Studios. Working in non-traditional venues gives us an opportunity to reimagine how and why we tell stories, and helps us to create deep, fascinating worlds for the audience to explore.</span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">We’re always experimenting, always rethinking what theater can be: as entertainment, as art and as out-of-the-ordinary experiences.</span></div></div></body></html>
