The Experimental Gameplay Workshop
The Experimental Gameplay Workshop
From the site:
The Experimental Gameplay Workshop is a forum for the demonstration and discussion of innovative game designs. It provides a place for designers to showcase challenging, unproven work, and discuss it with peers.
By explicitly acknowledging the existence of a community of experimental game designers, the workshop helps legitimize gameplay-oriented research and development.

Sideshow – Todd
Todd Robbins Carnival Knowledge
From the site:
Todd Robbins, whom New York Magazine calls “a performer of dazzling skill,” parts the curtains of the secret world of the carnival sideshow in his amazing new stage production, “Carnival Knowledge.”
One of the last practitioners of a quintessentially American art form, Todd Robbins brings us face to face with an oddly beautiful mixture of real-life human marvels and classic carnival magic. TheaterMania.com calls the spectacle “infectious, informative and colorful.” The New York Post promises, “this is theater at its most visceral!”
