"Astoryshould have abeginning, amiddleand anend, but not necessarily in that order." -Jean-Luc Godard
On Tuesday, July 26th we'll examine "The Physicality of Narrative." Our relationship to the stories we tell and share is shifting. As storytelling spills off screens and into the real-world it becomes tactile in ways that were never possible before. Augmented Reality (AR), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are creating playful environments that transform the physical spaces in our lives into canvases for storytelling. But what lies beyond traditional running times, act breaks and mediums? What is the storytelling grammar of physical space and is it possible for narratives to learn and adapt to our surroundings, interests and needs?
A special evening of Learn, Do & Share
Talks on
"The Physicality of Narrative"
