SUMMARY:Interactive Storytelling in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:ZOOM\, OPEN ALL SQUADS \nInteractive Storytelling in the 21st Century with Krishna Stott \nIn this workshop\, you will test the concept of ‘interactivity’ through screenings\, discussion and creating your own interactive sequences. \nThe workshop will give you a thorough grounding about how interactive storytelling fits into the world – for play and work. You will be equipped to think on your feet about this subject going forwards\, and learn how to think differently about interactive storytelling as opposed to conventional linear storytelling – and also when it’s the same thing! You’ll also leave with links to resources and tools you can use.
