This Lunchtime talk is the second in our series exploring Future Themes in the Studio.
Jane is inviting you to join her for lunch. She is going to give you a peek into her new Pervasive Media Studio Future Themes project: It's Our Pleasure. She will talk about the pleasures, trials, tribulations and ethics of making a multidisciplinary experience (Letters, Telephones, Live Performances & Online Platforms) in the current climate. It’s Our Pleasure is set in a 1920’s speakeasy and centres around the subjects of pleasure, community, diversity and exploration. Past, present and future pleasures, what pleasure means, how it is found and how it can be shared. She will then hand over the microphone for people to share their pleasures, ask any questions & to pick her up on things that she is likely to have missed. It is important for her to remember that the piece is called It’s OUR Pleasure.
Join us on Fri 13th November, 13:00-14:00 for the talk and to take part in the discussion afterwards.
