Are you a London-based creative person between the ages of 16 – 30? Do you have boundary-pushing ideas and a drive to create and deliver a new project? Or have you always had ambitions to make something but haven’t found the right support? This free workshop offers an introduction to interactive production processes as part of In Production, an ongoing programme of workshops, talks and showcases conceived in parallel with New Creatives – a series of commissioning opportunities developed by BBC Arts and Arts Council England for emerging artists looking to enter the world of broadcast media.
Producer Sophie Sampson from BBC Research & Development will lead the workshop, introducing the current In Production Open Call, for which we are looking for interactive works which employ new and emerging technologies to provide insights into powerful experiences, situations or locations.
The workshop will also facilitate:
Discussions about different modes of narrative interaction within audio, film and games.
Group brainstorming sessions, in which you can develop your pitching skills and workshop ideas.
Feedback on your project proposals from industry professionals, including Amy Rose and May Abdalla of creative studio Anagram, who specialise in interactive storytelling and immersive experience design.
An introduction to free technologies you can use to produce your ideas, including BBC StoryFormer, Bitsy, Pico-8 and Echoes.
