Short Description
DIY Divas is an interactive intermedia performance of the Intermedia Performance Studio (IPS). The basic conceit is to allow audience members to play with a projection of a Diva ego. The ego is projected behind the participant, who controls it with tracking sensors attached to the body. The show was introduced by three Divas created by the IPS. "Eve" by Melissa Berman with text by Mark Twain, "The Obsessive Diva" by Josephine Anstey, text by Josephine Anstey, and the Office Diva.
