The Essential 360 Storytelling Lab 
Participants on this course may be eligible to receive funding (of 80% of the costs) through Skillset’s Multiplatform Bursary Scheme meaning it may only cost participants £161.20 to attend – please visit www.skillset.org/multiplatformbursaries to check availability and see if you are eligible
Join us for the most in-depth course in the emerging use of multiple platforms in the country run by experienced cross-platform dramatists Rik Lander and Hazel Grian.
Participants will experience both the exciting opportunities and practical difficulties of using social media to tell a story. It will be of great value to any writer, producer, director, AP, web designer, development team member or executive producer who wishes to advance their skill and experience with 360 media. The learning will be equally applicable for people working in drama, non-fiction and advertising.
The five day course is a mixture of lectures on state of the art 360 practice, daily work-shopping of ideas and finally a live online transmission where selected ideas can be tested with an audience. Actors and a web design/tech team are available.
What makes this course truly unique is that Professor Jon Dovey of the Digital Cultures Research Centre, UWE will undertake live audience research on an invited audience at the Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol. Participants will receive detailed feedback on how their ideas were used making this a very useful practical test bed.
