Stellar Network is piloting the Story Innovation Programme this Autumn in partnership with Roehampton University.

The programme is totally free for the participants and is designed to give a limited number of people focused time to collaborate across sectors, explore innovative stories and experiences across platforms, and to play with the boundaries between audience and story, reality and fiction.
 
We're looking for rising talent from the theatre, film, television and games industries:  writers, directors, producers, game designers and creative technologists who are interested in exploring new distribution platforms, sectors and audiences for their work.

The programme is research-led and practice-led rather than straight training, and finishes with a 5 week phase in which participants will break into small teams to work with different cultural/media organisations to prototype a new project: we've just confirmed the groundbreaking publishing house Visual Editions (http://www.visual-editions.com/) as one Prototype Partner.
 
The programme will run between September 2013- December 2013.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS NOW EXTENDED TO MIDNIGHT, 28TH JULY.
