We have invited Sophie Shaw, the founder of Frissonic to talk about the ideas and ethos behind their events that blend interactive theatre and partying into one evening. Sophie will discuss what she's planning for Frissonic's launch event and how she sees the project developing in the future.

Sophie says "Frissonic have one mission, to give you frisson". Ultimately Frissonic intend to create both a live experiment and a theatrical experience. The first experiment is themed around a modern-day alchemy ritual. Frissonic's launch event will be taking place in Bristol on 19 March featuring work by a number of Pervasive Media Studio residents.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around just before the talk. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk to book your place on a tour.
