What does live performance look like in virtual worlds and how can virtual production be used? Step behind the curtain with Director Kiira Benzing of Finding Pandora X, winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Best VR Immersive User Experience Award and the Audience Award at the 2021 SXSW Festival. This production features Broadway actors embodying virtual avatars. Immersive narrative, ancient mythology, escape rooms, and virtual environments collide in this hour-long interactive performance that transports the audience into a neon-colored immersive storyworld. The audience has a critical role to play, embodying avatars and collectively forming a Greek Chorus. Rooted in the principles of interactivity, liveness, presence, embodiment and community, these productions enable global audiences to socially connect. Join Benzing as she describes the Double Eye Studios’ process for virtual collaboration and explore what types of media can be used to build live virtual performances.
