Interview: Tim Casson on PREPPERS: THE GAME

Did you know we have an Alexa Game?

PREPPERS: THE GAME is an interactive skill for Amazon Alexa smart speakers that asks are we prepared?

PREPPERS: THE GAME is the first part of the PREPPERS world. Alongside the game; PREPPERS: THE SHOW is a live documentary dance performance and participatory programme that can be performed fully off grid, and is technically self-sufficient for presentation in rural, small and alternative spaces. PREPPERS: THE SHOW was premiered in June 2021.

Working with survival psychologists and access consultants, we have created a game that offers you a chance to interact, learn about and understand some of the skills and techniques you might need in order for your body and mind to survive.

In the game you start underground, you’re alone and you get to use your voice to make choices; the choices you make will have an impact on what happens.

“Exploring how the body and mind react in different environments, PREPPERS: THE GAME is a ground-breaking new game directed by Casson & Friends’ Artistic Director Tim Casson, with voicework by actress Liz Lubega, script by Ian Abbott and music by Paul Rogerson.” - Centre Stage Blog (2021)
