CASTING
Corpus quod
The Lab Collective are casting a new interactive performance funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in partnership with the University of Birmingham, the University of Plymouth, Stand and Stare productions and Friends without Borders.
The piece is designed to question how immersive technology can create social change, with a specific focus on public attitude towards asylum seekers. The piece will be devised with the performers and based on a series of case studies which have been collated by our research team.
