DARKFIELD MASTERCLASS: MAKING IMMERSIVE AUDIO EXPERIENCES

You'll get the opportunity to dive into DARKFIELD’s creative practice, and develop an understanding of immersive audio-based storytelling. You will play with the binaural equipment, whilst exploring ways to place the audience at the centre of an experience and ways to heighten immersion and interactivity.

You will leave with ideas of how you can use immersive audio technology in your own creative practice, having taken part in both solo and group practical exercises throughout the workshop, with guidance from two core members of the DARKFIELD  creative team.

This masterclass is suitable for emerging artists, professionals, theatre makers and xr  makers.

More about the masterclass:

This masterclass is part of an exciting collaboration across three venues featuring three critically acclaimed immersive experiences by DARKFIELD: ARCADE at The Lowry,  FLIGHT at Aviva Studios, and SÉANCE at HOME. The tour has been made possible thanks to funding from Arts Council England.
