Are you aged 16-30? Are you interested in interactive art and new storytelling platforms? Then come along to Kaleider Studios for a chance to discuss and workshop Interactive Narrative. What is it? How can we use it? What technology is available to create it, and how can we get hold of it?
This workshop is running as a part of talent development scheme New Creatives, offering commissioning opportunities for emerging artists to create new work in film, audio or interactive media, designed for BBC platforms. Please follow the link or read below to find out more about the project!
For our current open call for New Creatives, we’re particularly interested in interactive ideas that might explore interactive gaming, interactive audio experiences and FullDome experiences. At this workshop you will get a chance to see some of these technologies in action, as well as discuss the project with BBC R&D, SW Creative Technology Network, Calling the Shots and your creative peers.

What is Interactive art?
Interactive art invites the audience to take part. In interactive art viewers are no longer passive onlookers, they are encouraged to participate in the realisation or completion of the work.
