The XR-Research Symposium at Rose Bruford College brings together academics, artists and technologists using XR technologies for research in theatre and performance.
The use of XR (augmented/mixed/virtual reality) tools and techniques is now well-established in many fields of artistic practice and academic enquiry, from their use to make various kinds of digital performance to VR reconstructions of historic theatres. This one-day symposium brings together academics and practitioners to share, discuss and explore how XR can be used for performance research, to ask questions such as:
- How does research into digital performance that uses XR technologies differ from other kinds of research? What methodologies are useful?
- How can XR technologies be used to investigate performance histories?
- What are the barriers to making XR performances accessible to all users?
- How can artists and technologists working with XR engage with and benefit from research in universities?
The day will include presentations, demonstrations, and a plenary for discussion, as well as an opportunity to network. Please reserve your ticket in advance.
