Get ready for an explosion of creativity as Immersive Denver, in partnership with After Hours Theater Company and The Immersive Experience Institute, and with support from Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) Off-Center and The Experientialists, hosts the inaugural Denver Immersive Invitational. This 48-hour immersive competition will challenge eight of Denver’s most daring creators to conceptualize and perform original short-form works in just two days. The event will take place at the historic El Jebel, generously provided by Non Plus Ultra, on November 10th, the final day of Denver Arts Week. The Denver Immersive Invitational is more than a competition; it’s an incubator for new art and immersive experiences, pushing artists to innovate under intense creative pressure. Teams will receive a modest stipend, creative constraints, and access to a venue space beginning on Friday, November 8th. They will have less than 48 hours to build, rehearse, and perfect an immersive show for an audience of 12. On Sunday, November 10th, the public is invited to experience the results. Three showcase performances will take place at 12 pm (discounted preview), 4 pm, and 7 pm. Audiences will be immersed in eight thematically linked experiences, created in real-time by some of Denver’s most visionary artists (with a brief intermission). The evening will conclude with an awards ceremony following the 7 pm showcase, where the top teams will be recognized. This event is an incubator for immersive art in its most experimental form. These teams are working without the luxury of time, perfect conditions, or polish—what they deliver will be raw, unfiltered, and brimming with creative energy. This is your chance to see the ideas and performances that may grow into fully realized productions down the line.
