What IS Magic Futurebox?
Magic Futurebox is a production team dedicated to making interesting things happen around lots of people.
Magic Futurebox was founded in 2010 as a playground for the development of theatre and other collaborative forms of art that bring audiences together. In the first 10 months of our existence, Magic Futurebox has worked with over 200 directors, actors, designers, musicians, and roboticists on 13 different productions. Currently, we make our home in Brooklyn, in 20,000 square feet of rehearsal, development, and performance space, appropriately located in a still functioning factory in Industry City.
Our Goals:
Start with the story, then add the tech.
1) To embrace and develop technological innovations that serve the art (not the other way around)
Participation isn't asking what you think, it's inviting you to play.
2) To provide multiple opportunities for different types of engagement so you decide how you participate in interactive and immersive art
What we make may not be for everyone, but it should be available to anyone.
3) To pursue methods of broadening access to art by integrating online media and live performance
Magic Futurebox is forever grateful to The Tank for incubating our company in its infancy, and to chashama for providing us with the opportunity to make a home for ourselves in Brooklyn. You guys rock.
