Exploring Hyper-Reality with Curtis Hickman (Podcast)

This week No Proscenium is brought to you by SEE TICKETS, which has proudly supported thousands of clients across the globe in areas as diverse as historic attractions like Stonehenge, immersive theater like The Burnt City, and important cultural touchstones like LA Pride.

This week Curtis Hickman co-founder and chief creative officer of The VOID is here to talk about his new — and quite excellent book: Hyper-Reality: The Art of Designing Impossible Experiences.

Join us for a quick, action-packed conversation that covers how magic and virtual reality interact, the differences between storytelling and storybuilding, and the role Dungeons & Dragons plays in the design philosophy behind impossible experiences involving Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and Jumanji.
