Adapting Story, Character & Performance for XR

Iconic stories such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream have been told in many ways for different audiences through time. How can they be translated for new platforms and digital worlds? How do they provoke experimentation, and what limits do they impose? Pippa Hill and Jamie Morgan share learnings from Dream, while Felix Barrett and Amrita Ramanan discuss their own experiences of reimagining Shakespearean texts and recentring the audience in classic stories.
