ABSTRACT
This essay is rooted in theories of emergent gameplay, intimacy choreography, and the author's experience as an immersive performer training undergraduate actors for immersive performance, conversing with scholars, and practices that center audience agency and immersive performance (see Machon 2009; Harviainen 2007; McGonigal 2011). Proposing a rehearsal process for crafting unscripted interactions within immersive environments, this essay introduces a practice through which actors can reassert themselves as agentic participants while facilitating audience play, re-establishing agentic symmetry within unscripted interactions.
