Client: Re: Naissance opera
Workshops were conducted over a month from January - Feb 2020. The purpose of such teachings was to create a creative outlet for newcomers to VR to combine theatre, dance, song with world-building techniques in a social VR environment.
Workshop 1: Introduction and Onboarding - first time users in AltspaceVR
Workshop 2: Tour of Jingle Ville VR + lessons on world building in VR
Workshop 3: Intro to acting tips with mentor Stephanie Wong + intro to world-builds
Workshop 4: Refinement of stage/world, improv 'scriptwriting' and acting
The Team
World Build Tour - mechanics
Understanding Character
Moving through Space
Workshops such as these teach theoretical and practical frameworks that break down silos and enable teams of different creative people to work together. Within a month, the participants were able to manoeuvre around altspaceVR, understand how world-building works, determine what elements create great user experiences and imagine an improv setting that could foster their own growth.
