Abstract
This Independent Study explores the ways in which digital technology and immersive theatre engage audience members differently than traditional theatrical performances through a production of Reflected Desires: An Immersive Myth. It discusses and compares the January 2025 London productions of All’s Well that Ends Well, Guys & Dolls - Standing Immersive, Twelfth Night, and Matilda as well as the two art installations, Frameless and the Twist Museum. Chapter One is the review of literature on immersive theatre and shadow puppets. Chapter Two discusses the myth of Echo and Narcissus and my design concepts. Chapter Three is my production journal, including an account of my whole creative process. Chapter Four is my reflection on what I learned from doing the entire Independent Study.
