What is Wyrd Con?
Wyrd Con is an Interactive Theater Convention located in the
United States. Interactive Theater is the concept where both the audience and
actors are both part of the performance. Activities such as Transmedia, and
Live Action Role Playing, also known as LARP, are one such theater concept
having been around for decades. Others such as ARGs, or even Live Simulations
are also included at Wyrd Con. If you have ever had a desire to solve the mystery, fight
the enemy, or experience a world that mixes theater, costuming, and all of the
story worlds you have heard of from Anime, History, or Science Fiction than
Wyrd Con is the place to be. Wyrd Con also strives educate others in the concept of
Interactive Theater. This knowledge can be applied to daily life in a variety
of ways such as interacting to understand different roles in situations,
developing your own interactive worlds, or even training to gain confidence and
grow as a leader. Many panels even discuss how different scenarios can have
differing psychological effects on the participants, or expand a storyline to
other media and market concepts to generate new opportunities. Education is
central to us and allows every participant to better understand, as well as
convey the story in the most interactive way possible. All are welcome to attend. Our Mission
At Wyrd Con our mission is two fold: 1) To increase exposure to Interactive Theater by providing entertaining events. 2) To increase exposure to the variety of Interactive Theater by providing educational experiences. This two-fold concept of focusing on entertainment, and education ensures that we focus on providing a variety of experiences that vary from year to year, as well as guide us in ensuring a unbiased perspective on the different varieties that exist in the world.
