Experiencing Transmedia – Telling your Message across Platforms

Experiencing Transmedia is a hands-on, collaborative workshop in which participants will be guided through an interdisciplinary approach to building connected experiences. In this fast paced workshop participants will use collaborative storytelling techniques including performance, participatory culture, and mixed media to explore the intersection of creating and experiencing. You will leave the workshop with a firmer grasp on the potential of transmedia and how to use it to tell your message! Coming on July 6th at IFP Media center.

Defining Challenges and Establishing Voice

Through improvisation and participatory activities - workshop participants will use theater, and collaborative storytelling techniques, to work from personal experiences towards articulating shared values. The issues that we are facing today as a society are complex and multifaceted. As situations change, and new challenges arise – our values change as well. For this reason dialogue and discovery between people with different agendas is a critical component to finding solutions that are in everyone’s interest! Come play and learn to effectively produce change within your organization!
