During her fellowship with SWCTN, the theatre-maker Sharon Clark is exploring how she might extend people's experience of a theatre narrative. What do we need to think about when introducing stories to our audience in the privacy of their own home? Or when they are at work? How can we reach out and share stories with audiences that aren't just confined to the theatre spaces? And what are the advances in augmented and mixed reality might help us do this? Is it all just another trick? This talk will share some of that thinking, some of the provocations that arose and look at how anticipation and recall of an event could change the way that theatre writers construct the world and action of their plays.

Please note this talk is at 1pm not 2:45 pm as previously communicated.

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.
