Katie Day is Artistic Director of The Other Way Works, a company that creates and presents site-responsive performances for audiences as small as one-at-a-time that subtly challenge dominant ways of thinking and being. In this role she initiates and directs new productions, and leads the strategic development of the Company. Our current and upcoming projects focus on the emerging frontier where theatre meets new technologies, allowing us to provide magical and bespoke experiences for our ever more sophisticated audiences.

Interactivos presents a great opportunity to create a temporary international community here in Birmingham to explore how new cultural products can be developed through cross-disciplinary collaboration. These kinds of spaces and collaborations can generate real innovation, energy and challenge, and I'm looking forward to seeing the impact of this on the selected artists' practices. I think narrative and the audience experience should always lead the way, and any technologies employed should always support the storytelling or experience, rather than being used for their own sake. This thinking will be at the forefront of the guidance and challenge I'll be providing as part of the event.
