Audience involvement

Not sure how to directly include the audience in the show, although I'd like to. With this show, which is already shattering the 4th wall illusion, The audience should be more than just voyeurs, but actually able to add their own art to the larger creation. A bit of Living Theatre (http://www.livingtheatre.org/) and improv and pushing the limits a bit more of what can be done with a stage and seats.

Some initial ideas are below, but still weak: Brainstorm away!

1. Simon Says. not sure how it would work (or why), and there would be no way to eliminate enough audience members, accurately. . . but it would be fun!

2. call and response song/chant

3. "tickets" like Vertigo did on their subway show 3 years ago. Specific people get "tickets" with their program, and at a selected point in the show come up on stage and are in a scene/skit/dance. Play the triangle every time the conductor points to them?

4. Hokey-pokey?

5. beat box add-in? each section does a different beat/rhythm/chant so it could be a round or a instrumental with several hundred spontaeous players.

6. everytime a specific word is said, the audience yells a response. (Golly is it ____ today!) Audience: How ______ is it?
