Act II: Deliberation
Guests are taught the mechanism of influence in stages that escalate guests’ agency. All guests are put in the same room, surrounding the four performer representatives having a round table discussion. Round table discussion is partially scripted and guided by a fifth performer, a facilitator. Each group of guests influence one of the performers. The guests can influence the performer’s actions in different unique ways. These slides are focused on Act II, during the roundtable deliberation after the tutorial stages but before the climactic decision.
