Dr. Margee Kerr is a sociologist and author. She teaches and conducts research on fear—specifically, how and why people engage with "scary" material. Dr. Kerr is the co-investigator in a first-of-its-kind study that measures how the brain and body respond to "fun-scary" experiences like haunted attractions, paranormal investigations, and thrill rides. “You Want Me to Do What?” was the provocative title of Dr. Kerr’s symposium presentation, in which she talked about training actors in the science of immersive interactivity.
Dr. Kerr’s presentation focused on training actors in the science of immersive interactivity—and, especially, how we define and create that interactivity. The talk began: “When we educate actors on why they're doing what they're doing, on the science of senses like touch and sound, on agency and prediction, we empower them to improvise in ways that are creative, personalized, and—most importantly—keep themselves and guests safe.”
The 2nd Annual Leadership Symposium is July 30th, 2018, aboard the historic and haunted Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. The theme of this year’s event is “First Impressions.”
