“This funding will support a new collaboration between Produced Moon and Storydive: we'll combine interactive play and digital audio walks to develop a new approach to participatory work. We explore how play, puzzles and interactive storytelling can push Storydive’s App technology, to create extraordinary interactive creative experiences with and for young people.” Mel Frances on behalf of Produced Moon and Storydive

With both partners working at the intersection of storytelling, socially engaged practice and creative technologies, the project allowed them to explore how their practices can be combined to develop a new approach to participatory work. Specifically, how Produced Moon’s experience in interactive play can meet Storydive’s audio walk practice.

Produced Moon
We are Produced Moon, a Creative XR Theatre Lab. We create playful, unsettling & magical experiences with audiences at the centre. Our work ranges from game theatre to escape rooms, participatory digital storytelling to 360 degree film & more.

Our aim is to advance the arts by creating high quality artistic events that centre the audience experience, through: - The creation and promotion of interdisciplinary events; - Working responsively with participants, either in workshops or as audience members, making them feel empowered.

We run participatory projects, where we co-create work with teenagers and older people. We work in collaboration with community groups, schools and arts organisations, often at Platform in Easterhouse, Glasgow where we have run VR workshops, co-created interactive games and run events for families showcasing the work of local young people.

All of our work is guided by our 5 organisational values, to be: playful, collaborative, caring, experimental & pluralistic. Our work is overseen by our board of trustees.
