Txt 2 Death' is a innovative piece of street theatre combining live drama, 3D audio, mime, original music, dance, live and pre-recorded video with cutting edge location-based internet software and smartphone technology.
When the audience book for the show they will directed to a page to download the app required for the performance. This enables them to access the 3D audio and video elements of the show. The piece follows four characters; all suspects in a murder investigation. It begins with the audience witnessing the murder itself. It then takes the style of a promenade performance with the audience members receiving location-based audio and visual prompts whilst watching the live content. Once the audience have made there own deductions and assumptions the denouement will take the form of a reversion to scene one. With the additional information they now possess the audience will be able to see the motives and actions of each character and see the murder from a different perspective. To date the app is already in place and the 3D audio and video accessibility in development. The script is outlined and will be refined in a week of R&D in Autumn 2015. The costume designs are complete and the soundscape design is underway, the original music is in composition and the choreography complete by christmas 2015. Creative team: Artistic Director: Joseph Thomas, App Developers: Bubbal, Choreographic assistance from: The Knotted Project, Production Advisors: Dizzy O’ Dare Presents, Composer: Joseph Thomas and Advisor: Julie Tate.

The show is especially inclusive and accessible because of the app’s potential to provide audio description and subtitling and translation into other languages.
