Content:
* 1 hour open studio. Join us in the studio to watch the company rehearse for the last 60 minutes of our day. You are invited to bring a sketch book and pen, a cuppa tea or just yourself. It’s an invite from us to watch our company at work.
* A short 15 min break to to change spaces.
* 10-minute presentation on the top questions to consider when building your digital audiences. These are questions like: who is your digital audience? Who would you like it to be? Where are they and how best do you reach them? What is it they want and engage with online? What might you consider when developing digital projects for them?
* 10-minute presentation exploring a case study in VOXED’s digital practice: the interactive dance theatre crime drama Out Late on BBC Taster as part of Dance Passion. We’ll discuss how we adapted a theatrical work for a digital audience and the artistic investigations and experimentation in form in creating a choose-your-own adventure narrative work to be experienced online.
* 40 minutes open discussion. Bring your questions about all things digital strategy. From what content, to what platforms, to which audience to adapting existing works. This is your space to share and ask the questions you’ve always wanted to raise.
