Past Projects
Audience Labs creates models to create theatre and performance differently. The work takes different shapes but each project contributes to a conscious, deliberate and iterative exploration of new and better worlds, fed by artistry, experimentation and strategic learning.
From its conception we have always shared ideas and discoveries with others, connecting with a much wider ecosystem of artists and technologists who share our values and interests.
Openness, transparency, collaboration and sharing will always be key values. Here you can find some of our past work and reports that have emerged from it.
Investing in Future Cultures
“Investing in Future Cultures” is a report for AHRC that looks at the way funders generally and AHRC specifically can invest in and support innovation and transformation in the culture and performance sector. The report is the result of the input of 70+ people from across industries - including performance and wider culture, technology and digital production, broadcast media, social innovation, climate change, policy, and academia and more.
Royal Opera House
Audience Labs was born at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden, a location with a centuries-old tradition of performance. Introducing the creative practices of opera and ballet to immersive technologies provided a unique opportunity to look, not just at new types of performance, but new ways of working.
Our work set out to combine the stagecraft and emotional power that theatre makers have iterated over hundreds of years with the possibilities of contemporary technologies that extend or create new realities.
Audience Labs was at the ROH for 3.5 years during which it worked with 44 artists and 22 partners experimenting with 19 technologies across 14 countries.
