In this episode of Crafted Reality, we turn our attention to a project that sits very close to home - Gentle Gathering. Part supper club, part social experiment and part invitation to connect, Gentle Gathering explores what happens when technology, conversation and shared space come together with care. Across a series of prototypes, we’ve been asking simple but layered questions:-

1. How might AI support, rather than replace, human connection?
2. What does it mean to design a space where people feel able to speak, listen and linger?
3. And how can an experience hold both structure and spontaneity?

This conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the thinking, testing and unexpected discoveries shaping Gentle Gathering so far.

A podcast that dives into the world of play, story and technology - exploring the ways we craft experiences that shape how we see the world.

In this episode, we’re joined by Laura Jeffs, theatre maker, performer and workshop facilitator with a passion for devising, comedy, movement and improvisation. Laura is also one half of Flossy and Boo (the “Boo” half!), a South Wales-based theatre company creating playful, interactive work that looks at the world from an unconventional perspective.

Together, we dive into Laura’s creative process, the art of interactive theatre, her love of Dungeons & Dragons and world-building and her recent collaboration with yello brick on Chronicles of the Unknown - an interactive experience where RPG meets theatre.
