State of Mind is a devised, participatory, touring theatre/public dialogue campaign making its way around rural Montana across 2024/2025. Join lead artist Michael Rohd as he continues to develop character tracks & facilitation structures, visits with virtual guests and behavioral health experts, and invites Worlds in Play guest artists and attendees to help him imagine how technology can amplify impacts and discoveries as the project builds coalitions across rural and tribal communities.

How did we get here?

Artists across disciplines have been exploring participation forever. At this moment of participation fever in nearly every domain, discipline and sector, in what ways might it be useful to have a conversation about the values and practices that have come before? Join this timeline making, interrogatory, dialogue-apalooza guided by Michael Rohd, who has been creatively deploying participatory activity across arts, civic and health sectors for over 30 years. Lets think, let's argue, let's ask each other- What led you here? What led us here? And, if we draw a line from the past towards tomorrow, what's next?
