In a collaboration between The REP and the British Council with UK collaborators Tyrone Huggins, Judy Owen and Edie Jo Murray - I worked with Kenyan dance group Dance Into Space to create a theatre production that allowed onstage actors to interact with digital characters, and provided dancers with digital imagery to enhance the storytelling. A series of 3D scenes and animations were made, together with effected video clips and live camera feeds for Augmented Reality sections. Custom software was developed to control all the elements live on stage to help tell the story of the 'Lunatic Line' built across Kenya.

A Virtual version of the Stryx art gallery in Birmingham was recreated in VR for Meta Quest headsets. Stryx VR allows users to virtually visit the gallery examining paintings, 3D objects and 360 immersive videos. The gallery can be managed by staff through an online admin system allowing regular updates and new exhibitions to be created by uploading images, 3D objects and video files. Stryx have run a VR Residency programme for artists to introduce them to the medium, and creative practitioners have since produced work to be shown in the virtual space.

Made with Outside Studios, Henry Stanley's table is a seemingly normal wooden table that suddenly and magically comes to life with glowing text that appears and disappears across it's surface and sound from within. It retells the sad story of a man thrown on the mercy of the parish after the death of his mother and classified as an 'idiot from birth'. Behind the scenes custom software triggers audio and controls the fading of a series of large lightboxes hidden beneath the veneer that mysteriously illuminate the surface.
