In this week's ArtCast_audio:

First Person Theatre: Figurehead (8 min 38 sec)
First Person Theatre is a company of theatre makers and sound artists who use portable mp3 players and headphones to create interactive theatrical forms. The solo performance “Figurehead”  is for one person on a free-standing park bench, anywhere. First Person Theatre's compositions and recordings have been developed to suggest and infer, rather than impose images and sensations, allowing opportunity for participants to activate their perceptions and imaginations.
