Zach Morris will walk participants through designing their own immersive gatherings.
In this four-part seminar, acclaimed immersive theater director and experience designer Zach Morris of Third Rail Projects will walk us through the elements of immersive gatherings and guide us through the process of designing our own. Drawing inspiration and practical points from past notable immersive events, we’ll delve into the details of creating such gatherings—focusing on environment, interaction, the experiential arc, and guest-centered design. Each week, Zach will offer optional exercises geared to help participants envision and develop their own concepts outside of class.
