Led by UK-based creative studio Anagram, creators of Emmy-nominated GOLIATH: Playing with Reality.
This workshop will give those who want to understand more about the immersive landscape a chance to workshop their own work, learn new skills, and try some hands-on demonstrations and activities.
The two-day workshop will cover:
- An introduction to Immersive Experiences within Wales Millennium Centre
- Understanding the immersive landscape
- An overview of leading companies and projects in the field
- Hands-on experience of trying AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) work
- Deep-dive into the process of conceptualising and making immersive work
- Workshop your own project and push your ideas forward with support
Come with a project in mind - whether it’s an early-stage idea or a work in progress. This is an active workshop to push ideas forward.
You can attend alone, or with a project partner. If attending as a pair, please email digital.productions@wmc.org.uk after you have booked with a screenshot of your booking and the name and contact for your project partner. You only need to book one ticket if attending as a pair.
