“Interactive Performance” is an emerging field that focuses on audience interaction within fictional and simulated nonfictional scenarios. This is a broad focus area that includes many applications, ranging from interactive theater to patient simulation to training scenarios, and other experiences where the audience is empowered to help co-create the final experience through interactive participation.
