Here + There Prototype Films

by Emma Boulton

Strange to think how time has passed. Nearly a year to the day that I had first extended the call to the cluster, the Here + There teams presented their work to public audiences at Hopeful Futures. Perhaps you stepped into the world of The Lantern Room with Raucous, walked with Everything is Music, or listened keenly to Trigger and Bristol Ideas.

Today is another significant moment. I’m delighted to announce the Here + There films, each a window into intricate and thoughtful collaborations across an 8 month international R+D process. Learn more about the projects in their own words and find out where they are going next. In future months you can expect to read articles from the teams that dive further into their recent R+D as well as more from Here + There’s collaborative enquiry.

These are my last few days with Bristol+Bath Creative R+D, however, this is not a final goodbye in any sense. I am continuing with Watershed as a Producer and from February I will be moving to Playable City Sandbox and Connecting Through Culture as We Age.

The Lantern Room | Raucous

The Lantern Room is a proof of concept/prototyping project investigating a synchronised cross-Atlantic immersive theatre experience fusing digital technology/mixed reality with live performance. It heralds a new creative collaboration between Raucous and Toronto based immersive company Lost & Gone.

International Festival of Ideas | Bristol Ideas Festival

Bristol Ideas worked with Aké Arts and Book Festival and Toronto International Festival of Authors to create new models which saw increased awareness and involvement, delivering high-quality material worldwide, encouraging wider debate and problem solving.

Everything is Music | Landmark & Crack Magazine

The location-based digital trail for mobile. It allows visitors to discover the rich musical stories of a town or city, all through an easy to access web-browser platform. In Here + There EiM collaborated with Amsterdam Dance Event.

GROW | Trigger
