Inner:City Tours
Bring your iPod and see the city.
SHOW DESCRIPTION
Inner:City is a guided walking tour through the spaces between the Fringe venues and a comic exploration of the theater inside all of our heads. Participants will download a podcast onto their own iPods which will lead them on a multimedia odyssey through a neighborhood rich in theater history. This site-specific audio installation will invite its audience into the stories of this neighborhood in a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience that is one part video-game-without-the-screen and one part performance art installation, with just a dash of The daVinci Code.
ARTIST/COMPANY BIOGRAPHY
Inner:City Tours is a Cincinnati-based company that has been providing guided tours of interesting neighborhoods across the midwest since 1928. Founded by three struggling artists, the group began by offering neighborhood architecture and gallery tours but now, in its 80th year, is venturing into the 21st-century world of walking tours guided by podcast.

'AND THE FRINGIEST PART IS ...'
The engaging interactive genre makes use of iPod technology to tamper with the audiences’ inner monologues one person at a time and blurs the edges of theater and art installation in order to challenge the nature of art itself whether at the fringes or in the mainstream.
