Octopuses & other Sea Creatures is a large-scale immersive audio-visual installation, performance, community activities running through 2022.
Transmedia is a popular term these days, but all it means is that the story is told across multiple platforms, channels and situations. Taking the story world fromThe Snow Witch novel by Matt Wingett we developed new characters and a new narrative that saw the city of Portsmouth threatened by the restless spirit of a dead woman.
Working in partnership with Portsmouth author Matt Wingett and blacksmith Lucille Scott, owner of Little Duck Forge. We worked up an Arts Council funding application and were successful in raising enough money to stage the exhibition in October/November 2019.
A series of active participatory workshops are intended to inspire, inform and galvanise your interest in new forms of writing. The workshops aim to provide an understanding of the concepts of transmedia storytelling, providing skills for telling transmedia stories.
