REAL GAMES by Nicoletta Cappello

The Real Games is a podcast that instead of being listened to is designed to be enacted. The RG Podcast contains 21 Real Games, 21 audio-based performances and theatre games each designed to be done in connection to a daily task or activity. You do the performances and theatre games at home by following step by step the audio-instructions in real time while you listen the podcast. The RG are created to add a spark of imagination and groove to your daily routine, and they can lead to unexpected results. You can do the RG alone or accompanied, here and now, or later. The performances can be only listened to or actively danced.
