Interacting is a new company formed in response to the rapidly changing needs of today’s language learner. Our process consists of a combination of language teaching theatre shows and interactive teacher training. Our objectives are to break down the barriers, which obstruct speech and communication. The practice involves Live Language comedy shows where the audience is entertained while at the same time their English is tested through active involvement in the show. As a theatrical experience our shows operate as high-powered interactive stories. A narrator, who often participates directly as a protagonist of the story, will invite members of the audience to help illustrate the story. Improvisation is called for both from the actors and members of the public. As an educational event the shows operate on many levels. The actual language used and its delivery are designed to make the outline of each story accessible to the beginner and at the same time interesting for the more advanced learner. Interacting does not only offer shows for young, secondary and adult learners but also teacher training courses, storytelling and courses in Ireland.
