Emmett Furey on Participatory Storytelling and Narrative Correlationism

Today, we're joined by Emmett Furey, a seasoned writer, narrative designer, and transmedia producer. Emmett’s background includes impressive work such as Niantic's mobile game Ingress, writing for a live stream RPG series on Geek & Sundry Alpha, and serving as an instructor in the Screenwriting Department at the New York Film Academy.
This conversation focuses on the essence of storytelling, exploring narrative correlationism and participatory storytelling.

Join us as we explore:
~ What elements are essential to make a "story,"
~ The significance of storytelling in human evolution,
~ Emmett's philosophy of narrative correlationism and how it impacts his work,
~ The importance of creating with the final audience experience and participation in mind from the start,
~ The elements of participatory art and what makes that narrative experience unique,
~ The roots of participatory storytelling,
~ Where participatory storytelling might go in the future,
~ And much more!

Join us as we dive into a topic way over my head but so damn interesting!
