Interactive Narrative and How To Use It: a BBC Development Workshop

Screen Cornwall & SWTCN

Are you aged 16-30? Are you interested in interactive art*? Then come along to the Games Academy 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 <A HREF="http://callingtheshots.co.uk/newcreatives/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">New Creatives</A>, offering commissioning opportunities for emerging artists to create new work in film, audio or interactive media, designed for BBC platforms. 
*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. 
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. You can find out more about the Interactive Creative Brief here: <A HREF="http://callingtheshots.co.uk/Interactive_Brief_Round_2.pdf" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://callingtheshots.co.uk/Interactive_Brief_Round_2.pdf</A> 
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, Screen Cornwall, Calling the Shots and your creative peers.
