Some massively interesting discussions around collaboration, ethics, and recording and documenting VR theatre in this morning's Open Space sessions (brilliantly facilitated by @improbable1).

Back after lunch for some more!

That was such fun! Massive thanks to CREW Collective for such a unique Zoom performance.

(For those of you who weren't there... It was a bit like Chris Morris had blended together The Magic Roundabout with Robotwars? Anyway I loved it.)

[Theatre's New Realities (RHUL) @newrealities20]

Right now we have a social space for drinks (BYOB, I’m afraid) – come along and say hi!

[Theatre's New Realities (RHUL) @newrealities20]

In half an hour, we've got a new performance from CREW which promises to be totally brilliant – despite (because of?!) taking place entirely on Zoom.

Saw a bit of it yesterday, and it's unlike any other Zoom play!

Join here at 5pm BST: https://t.co/vPa0CuHZLl

[Theatre's New Realities (RHUL) @newrealities20]

Well that's that for today. Drop us an email if you haven't booked in for the Open Space but want to take part. (I'm not sure how feasible it'll be to talk about it on here...)

A massive thank-you to all participants, all who've asked questions, and YOU for reading! x

Nearly time for our final session on
EMBODIED STRATEGIES:

Joris Weijdom's experimental interactive presentation from within @neos_vr about his site-responsive 36Q° Blue Hour VR performative mixed-reality installation.

[Theatre's New Realities (RHUL) @newrealities20]

NEOS is great because open source – and if anyone from theatre is interested in making VR with it, contact Joris because he's thinking of putting together a research group.

You can also come and find him for a chat in the Open Space tomorrow!
