Agenda

Immersive Experience Day: for performing arts
Immersive technology offers new ways to tell stories and engage audiences. At the same time, it also raises questions: what can you concretely do with it as a cultural organization? What does it require in terms of time, resources, and knowledge? During the Immersive Experience Day for performing arts with a collection, you get the chance to experience the work of creators, gain insight into their process, and discover what this technology can mean for your audience and programming. Want to experience for yourself how VR, AR, and XR work in cultural practice? And have discussions with creators and peers about what is needed to take the first step? Then come to the Immersive Experience Day!
