GASP! FORFEND! THE Scarlett Kim hosts Imagi-Ne'er-Do-Wells! Play the infamous award-winning creativity game & LA's longest-running immersive-makers monthly-meetup! First Tuesdays monthly at THE OBSCURE historic distillery & members-only cocktail bar. APRIL 7th @ 7pm FEATURING venerable celebrity judge SCARLETT KIM -- immersive DIRECTOR & PRODUCER! Human culture has not a sufficient word for what SCARLETT KIM is or does. We can say "polymath director and producer" - that suggests a direction, at least, to look. "Creator of participatory experiences" can be a cave-painting handprint's worth of understanding for us. We know XLIST 2025 celebrated her as among "100 most creative visionaries in the experiential economy" and inkle that Scarlett Kim is -- if in a word -- superlative. But a "Director of Innovation & Strategy" at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival? A co-founder of Worlds in Play? A co-founder of Independent XR Distribution Coalition at MIT Open Doc Lab? The Executive Creative Producer for her own Center for Unclassifiable Technologies and Experiences?! These words flash like shooting stars across our uncomprehending eyes! No person could do all that! No one being can be so many things! Scarlett serves on the board of Los Angeles Performance Practice, and mentors for NEW INC, you blithe apes! She was an Interdisciplinary Fellow at Royal Shakespeare Company and Visiting Artist at Stanford Arts, you babes of this sphere! She is not greater than you do imagine! She is greater than you CAN imagine! (Ms. Kim could not be reached to approve this bio by press time.) TICKETS ONLY AT: Each month features a surprise creative prompt to invent a new experience and laugh with other creatives as they attempt to do the same. Sharpies provided. Cocktails encouraged. $10 - grants you admission to the otherworldly members-only club THE OBSCURE, one ticket to play our award-winning creativity game & entrance to IMAGI-NE’ER-DO-WELLS’ trademark un-professional networking with LA’s brightest and funnest immersive creators. Another fine *Live Action Attractions* game or show. Or gameshow. Photo credit @thisisaphotographer

2026: dropping out of the rat race to race for myself #LA5K

Looking forward to returning to SXSW this year as an official mentor 🪩 📸 @thisisaphotographer

It was a truly inspiring talk about imagination as the artist’s medium, about interdisciplinarity, and about distribution as a relational process that connects creators, producers, and audiences. Huge thanks to Scarlett Kim (@captainscarface )! 🩵 See you soon! 🩵

I got to wake up to the news that I’m on #XLIST2025: @xp_land ’s celebration of the 100 most creative visionaries in experiential! I first began making theatre to make sense of my hybrid, liminal experience of life. Now, I bring theatre into other mediums, whether its XR, game, or dinner parties, to expand how we experience liveness. And I bring emerging innovations back into theatre because I believe it to be a living laboratory where we rehearse change and prototype new worlds. I’m honored to be named alongside fellow innovators who are remixing forms, traversing realms, and short-circuiting the status quo. Especially giddy seeing my name next to some of my fave trailblazers @jmjlaca @areyouthatguy @chnnls Here’s to every chance we get to open new portals into liveness ⚡️ xp.land/xlistings-index #XLIST #Immersive #Experiential #ExperienceEconomy
