The Association of Interactive Performance Professionals

The AIPP is a professional association focused on advancing the practice of interactive performance, in all of its forms.

“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.

Interactive Performance has the capacity to change lives for the better and to bridge connections between people. AIPP serves creators of all forms of interactive performance by providing a forum where you can share, learn, celebrate, and collaborate in the creation of impactful interactive performance experiences.


Interactive and Immersive theatrical experiences involve the audience as an essential part of the narrative.

Interactive Performance helps to train educators through live and virtual sessions by practicing new skills before entering the classroom.

Simulation and training gives professionals an opportunity to practice soft skills with actors, who are trained to simulate different high-stakes situations.

Interactive performance builds communities and aids communication by helping to break down barriers, creating a sense of trust between people.
