A new profession in the art and technology market
INSIDE_ACT
STARTING IN 2026 | Shaping the future of immersive storytelling education in Europe
Our theatre goes beyond the traditional boundaries of the stage. We work not only with new technologies, media, interactivity and alternative forms of storytelling, but also with professionals from a wide range of disciplines. That is why we are taking part in this project, aiming to train Immersive Storytelling Designers (ISD). We contribute our experience and play a pioneering role by sharing knowledge on how to move beyond disciplinary boundaries and develop a new transdisciplinary, informal and almost “undisciplined” methodology for an innovative educational toolkit.
