UCAN Create's fourth Masterclass will explore the world of interactive experiences with Bristol based creators Anagram. During the workshop you will explore how the physical and the digital space can be brought together to create unique work that creates emotional connects with audience, space and place. 

Anagram is an award-winning creative company based at the Pervasive Media Studio in Bristol, with a talent for producing work that seamlessly brings together the physical and digital world. In the last 12 months they have been commissioned and programmed by the Tower of London, Tribeca Storyscapes, Sheffield DocFest, the Young Vic Theatre,  Birmingham Cathedral, Greenpeace, the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Stoke City Council to produce projects ranging from experiential documentary, through to public art, children’s toys and video games. In a variety of ways, all these projects give participants both immersion into, and agency in, a story.

For their immersive documentary Door Into The Dark, they won the Storyscapes prize for best interactive work at Tribeca Film Festival, 2015. Anagram were selected for the Creative England 50 for 2016.

To be eligible for a place you must be between 16 and 26 years old. These masterclasses are free and there is no need to attend every one although we hope to gather a co-hort who attend most who would go on to co create work for the UCAN festival in July.
