Hidden in plain sight, join us in The Mind Palace – our Sherlock-themed speakeasy bar for drinks with a twist.
An experience that immerses you in a performance.
The first thing you need to know AND remember is that Immersive Experiences will aim to take you out of your world and transport you to a new one, creating environments; storylines and characters that exist in their own universe and nowhere else.
Throughout, you will exist within the universe created for you and only return to your own once the story has reached its end. This allows Immersive Experiences to develop deeper more intricate stories and characters as they become tangible entities.
Immersing you within a constructed environment allows you to believe fully the events happening as you are not merely sitting in a theatre within a whole universe created for you…

Uses multiple sensory media to create a story.
Immersive Experiences aren’t content with just using sets and props to engage you with their performance. Many will look to stimulate all five sense, not just sight and sound, but also touch, taste and smell, incorporating elements of VR, audio and even food and drinks.
Using multiple elements allows Immersive Experiences to fully construct worlds and invite people to inhabit them, have agency within the storytelling and in some circumstances sway the outcome of the story, engaging you in a whole new way.
Welcoming you to a unique world filled with its own music, characters, stories and even a fictional national dish to try.
Changes you from a passive to an active participant.
Unlike traditional theatre, Immersive Experiences won’t be content to let you sit and observe. Rather they place you in an active role within the story, creating jeopardy and even at points having your actions directly change the outcome.
An Immersive Experience wants to create a wholly unique and personal journey for you, so the story feels constructed just for you, that you have witnessed an experience unlike anyone else’s, despite being in the same audience.
