Proposal

Our project will be a “Mad Libs” style interaction in which the audience votes via Mentimeter for words of a certain type without knowing context. They will choose words which describe a context/location of the performance, the genre (comedy, tragedy, romance, horror), and an object. Then, two performers will perform a short, "improvised" skit based on results of the vote, incorporating the object and genre into the location. There will be different backdrops projected in the background depending on the chosen setting of the performance, and different sounds based on the genre chosen (laugh track, sappy music, etc etc).

For example,

Location options: bathroom, New York, Pausch bridge, Trader Joe’s

Genre options: comedy, tragedy, romance, horror

Object options: banana, headphone, waterbottle, sunglasses
