An Introduction to immersive theatre is a one day workshop where participants will create performance, using their bodies, voices, objects, materials, technology and music. As part of the learning process, participants will collaborate to develop unique experiences. You can be an actor, dancer, singer, a writer, a poet, a storyteller, a fine artist, a mountain climber, a yoga practitioner or a brand marketeer. Immersive Theatre will help you transform the way people experience your work. Participants will also have the opportunity to be part of an Immersive Performance later in the year.
