This two-day workshop is meant to inspire creators to seek out new methods of storytelling that better leverage emerging technologies. Through a combination of theory presentation, case studies, group/individual activities, and discussion, we will explore the core facets of spatial storytelling and learn how to apply them in your writing process.
Interest in immersive storytelling is in a resurgence not seen since the heyday of transmedia, brought about—in no small part—thanks to advances in technology. With the advent of 360° filmmaking, AR/VR, and spatial computing, storytellers face new challenges in creating content that resonates with their audience. Tackling these unknowns is exciting and can lead to innovations in storytelling – and a solid understanding of what differentiates this new frontier from traditional media will benefit creators immensely.
