Degrees of Freedom: The Robot Director
Schedule
Fri Mar 27 2026 at 07:30 pm to 08:30 pm
UTC-04:00Location
City of Fairfax Theatre Company | Fairfax, VA
A comedy show controlled by a robot paired with an expert talk on robots & social justice. One night only with Dr. Tom Williams in an intimate black box theatre.
Join Resonance Improv Alliance and robotics expert Dr. Tom Williams for an evening where cutting-edge tech meets every day humanity. We’re exploring “Degrees of Freedom”—not just in robotic joints, but in our own lives—to see if humans can still find the funny when a machine is calling the shots.
Dr. Tom Williams kicks things off with a deep dive into the intersections of Robotics and Social Justice from his forthcoming book, Degrees of Freedom. How do algorithms shape our agency, and how do we design for a more just future?
Then, performers run Asimov’s Gauntlet, and the theory is put to the test. A local improv team performs a high-energy set while our Robot Director interjects audience suggestions. It’s a battle of wits between human spontaneity and robotic logic.
Ticket price is pay-what-you-want. Just 30 seats are available in this intimate venue!
