Two panellists present a talk at the IEN Summit.

‘Choosing Children’ and Innovative Digital Access in Immersive: A Creative Case for Accessibility – Ben Fredericks [Collaborations]

In this session, Laura Wilkinson and Ben Fredericks talk about the development process for incorporating accessibility in their immersive show “Choosing Children” from the outset of the creative process, the lessons learned, and where accessibility in immersive can go from here.

Choosing Children was a dramatic and interactive live spectacle for an intimate audience, which aimed to be fully accessible and inclusive. Audiences could request British Sign Language, Audio Description, and/or Captioning in every performance through an integrated Access System.

This talk was recorded at the Immersive Experience Network Summit in October 2024 and is supported by Arts Council England and our industry partners Illusion Design & Construct, Mance Communications, White Light, Deterministic, Immersif, d&b audiotechnik, Scene2, Little Lion Entertainment, Entourage, and Vista Insurance.
