Moonlit is an immersive experience following the story of a fictional moon spirit and creatures of a forest. By combining interactive technical intalls, live actors and physical theater props, the world was brought to life and opened to the public. Audience members of all ages were encouraged to participate in the world by being offered multiple settings, activities and affordances. While creating this experience my team and I wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable in the experience while at the same time engaged. We did this by making it possible to mingle, dance, lounge and order from the “sensory bar.” There was also the option to could follow the storyline which acted as a puzzle. You had to talk to each of the forest characters to receive a token to meet and speak with the moon spirit. At the end of the night, the moon spirit then came out and mingled with all of the guests.

Interaction List :

︎ Sensory Bar :

    Order from three “drinks” (Non edible, touchy-feely micro experiences                                               served in a martini glass)
        1.) Moon Porridge

︎ Interactive Dance Floor 
   
   Live DJ set
   Projection Mapped wall and kinect camera that would project your          shadow in colorful, pixelated ways.

︎ Lounge 
   
   A calm, inviting place to sit and chill out. Couches and comfy chairs.

︎ UV Light hand stamps

   Each time you would talk to a new character they would put their own     special marking on the back of your hand.
   Once an audience member collected all four stamps, they were allowed    to meet the moon spirit.
   We had a “Bouncer character who carried around a “moon sprite” which     had small UV light emitting from it’s mouth. The bouncer would use the    moon sprite’s UV light to check if guests had all four stamps.
      


︎ Moon Tokens

   Upon meeting the Moon Spirit, audience would be gifted with a moon       token. The token was a clear, laser cut moon phase. This was a nice     take away for guests and tokens were different as you didn’t know         which moon phase you would recieve.
