Abstract
Jane Boston is in conversation with Annie Ruth to discuss how the social improvisatory framework of encounters on the marae (Maori meeting place) can teach theatre practitioners a great deal about meeting and connecting with audiences. The combination of structure and improvisation, aligned to clarity around role and purpose, can shift the paradigm of the encounter.
