Immersive and Interactive Media Design Academy of Live Technology

Overview

This innovative programme explores ways to provide audiences with a meaningful, immersive, or interactive presence using cutting-edge technology, scenography, powerful storytelling, and compelling narrative design.

This postgraduate course gives hands-on experience in analysing, designing, developing, and realising projects for a range of performance genres, production scales, and spaces. You will experiment with different interfaces and platforms to create exceptional immersive experiences. Together, we explore how audiences experience events from varied perspectives, including before, during, and after a show. 

This programme is distinct from our MA Live Event Design degree course as it focusses on audience engagement and not design management. How an audience experiences an event or performance from different perspectives and narratives is central to the MA Immersive & Interactive Media Design. This is studied using a variety of means including sets, film, audio, lighting, projection, environment, and space.
