Grace, Wit & Charm is a netprov project conceived and directed by Rob Wittig. robwit.net/?project=grace-wit-charm
This two-week project was a collaborative narrative written on the web, in Twitter, and which included two nights of live performance at Teatro Zuccone in Duluth Minnesota.
A behind-the-scenes, workplace drama about four hard-working "character enhancement agents" ghost-writing and ghost-acting for clients who want their online game avatars to move more gracefully, who want to be more witty in social media, and who are romantically impaired — Grace, Wit & Charm tracks the inexorable rise of "virtual health care" work that stretches Neil, Deb, Sonny and Laura to their limits.
