Are you interested in making interactive, immersive work that enables universal access for audiences including those with disabilities?
Are you interested in collaborating cross-culturally?
We are looking for artists from all disciplines to take part in Research and Development sessions exploring the idea of making a new interactive multi-sensory performance installation that is a collaboration between Australia’s Sensorium Theatre and artists from Singapore.

Using a piece from the National Museum of Singapore collection as a stimulus, Sensorium Theatre Artistic Directors Michelle Hovane and Francis Italiano will explore ideas and discuss the principles of multi-sensory theatre making for universal access.
Following this 2-day masterclass, selected artists will be invited to gain practical experience assisting Sensorium Theatre performers to deliver workshops and performances to children with disabilities during a season of their show, Oddysea. This will take place 4th-18th November at The Artground.
