'Etiquette' brings interactive theater to Bookstore

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff Passing by the Dartmouth Bookstore this week, you might have noticed something out of the ordinary: pairs of students sitting at a table with headphones on, deeply engaged in conversation while playing with miniature figures and eye droppers. You may recognize their faces through the window, but these students have stepped out of their roles as students to participate as actors in "Etiquette," an innovative interactive theater piece by the London-based group Rotozaza that blurs the lines between performing, acting and observing. Each participant in the performance wears a set of headphones that supplies verbal prompts for conversation and interactions.
