Towards Intelligent Interactive Theatre: Drama Management as a way of Handling Performance
This work addresses the need for more immersive and adaptive experiences in theatre, but it is incremental as it builds on existing interactive narrative concepts without presenting new results.
The paper tackles the problem of creating intelligent interactive narratives in live theatre by proposing an agent that acts as both drama manager and character, and it identifies research challenges and potential methodologies to bridge gaps in current literature.
In this paper, we present a new modality for intelligent interactive narratives within the theatre domain. We discuss the possibilities of using an intelligent agent that serves as a drama manager and as an actor that plays a character within the live theatre experience. We pose a set of research challenges that arise from our analysis towards the implementation of such an agent, as well as potential methodologies as a starting point to bridge the gaps between current literature and the proposed modality.
