So, you’ve got a genius story idea…

Before you work it into the next bestseller, BAFTA-winner, or West End sensation, have you thought how your story might unfold in a different format?  What if your readers could choose the path of your narrative?  What if you could take the audience beyond the flat-screen and into your world to explore it for themselves? 

This May, TalentLab XR is mentoring and training up to 12 emerging Black, Asian and multicultural artists in advanced storytelling techniques.  We’ll help you to transform your ideas with Extended Reality (XR).  

What is XR?

You’ve probably interacted with XR without knowing it.  

Have you ever played Pokémon Go or Beat Saber? Looked at anything on Google Maps live view? Used a filter on social media? Then you’ve used XR. 

All you have to do is bring your imagination and we’ll give you the training.

“I went into TalentLab knowing my practice, theatre. And I left wanting to experiment with other platforms. The week genuinely made me excited about making new work across platforms. Its changed how I think about my existing and new work. I'm also starting to rethink how I can use different platforms to engage audiences.”

“Applying what I learned regarding story telling at TalentLab I've begun writing and collaborating on more projects. It's given me a taste of the film industry from another perspective but ultimately taught me that I have to always love what I’m doing. I left B3 with an inspiring diverse group of hard-working friends that share and collaborate together.”
