Multisensory Workshops for Creatives

These collaborative workshops provide a unique opportunity to dig into what multisensory experience could mean for your practice and your business. 

Join us for a first look at our brand new Multisensory Hub, bringing together resources, insights and case studies to support creative businesses ready to explore multisensory work.

Alongside industry peers, you'll weigh up the costs and benefits, exchange ideas, network, and feed into CoSTAR National Lab's future funding calls. 

The workshops will be held in Production Park Wakefield with CoSTAR Live Lab, Edinburgh with CoSTAR Realtime Lab, Studio Ulster Belfast with CoSTAR Screen Lab, and London with CoSTAR National Lab and CoSTAR Foresight Lab. For people outside those areas, we will also be offering an online workshop.  

Creatives, technologists, designers, producers, business developers and organisations making or investing in experiential work across live performance, XR, installation, games, themed entertainment or exhibitions are invited to take part.

Participants will help shape the future of CoSTAR National Lab’s multisensory directions, including informing upcoming funding calls.
