\\u201cThe art of immersive isn\\u2019t about the art of engagement, it isn\\u2019t about holding people\\u2019s attention... It\\u2019s about attachment. It\\u2019s about forging a connection.\\u201d -Noah

You can consume or you can create. Usually, it\\u2019s one or the other. Whether you\\u2019re considering a movie, music, or a book.. You can choose what you consume, for the most part, but you can\\u2019t alter the thing while in the midst of a storyline. Which, I believe, is part of what makes immersive so confounding. In the space of immersive entertainment, there is the option to do both.\\xa0


Today we have, once again, good sir Noah Nelson the creator of No Proscenium. Based in LA, for the last 5 years Noah has strived to knit together the immersive community across the country and help the world understand this change in the way that our culture consumes narrative and story.\\xa0
