Building Castles in DIRT with Christina Tang

This week, Nick and Percy are joined by Christina Tang, a lighting designer and member of Sour Milk! They talk about Sour Milk’s upcoming interactive show, DIRT, a speculative piece about how to decide, collectively, what to build (out of food, of course) in the space created when the East River fills in overnight. Other topics include what games and theater can learn from one another and how to rehearse interactive work.
