NoPro’s Executive Editor Kathryn Yu speaks to multi-hyphenate artist Jessica Creane of IKantKoan Games, the creator of immersive shows such as Chaos Theory and Know Thyself.
They discuss the collision of theatre and games, audience agency, designing for meaningful choice, what keeps her going as an artist, creating safe spaces using immersive theatre, how her work bleeds into everyday life, as well as (spoiler) the time she cut off all her hair in front of a live audience.
