The goal of this research is to determine what other mediums offer immersive theatre in terms of immersivity and worldbuilding which could help improve upon the forms practice. By breaking down processes behind how different mediums achieve immersivity it may be possible to find qualities which are transferable, and perspectives which academics in theatre studies may not have considered. These transferable ideas may help improve upon the quality of immersive theatre productions by providing richer, more detail-oriented experiences, as well as highlighting a more practical understanding of the term. To do this I need to reach an understanding about what immersion and immersive theatre are in their current contexts. I also need to generate an understanding of how different mediums immerse their audience/participants in regard to worldbuilding techniques they offer. Finally, I need to examine how these techniques used in other mediums could potentially be used in immersive theatre practice.
