★★★★ "Loaded with secrets, surprises and unexpected tonal turns, Lost Origin is a playful interactive experience showcasing some superbly effective augmented reality technology." – The Stage
Role
Working with the Director, Writer and Exec Producer, I designed games, interactive experiences and moments of surprise and delight, using technology to further immerse guests in the story and environment.
The audience overcome challenges to progress the narrative, encountering secret doors, a hacked AI, overheard conversations, and work together as a team to play environmental games. I consulted with the team to ensure the script and experience-design supported these moments, making it clear, engaging and rewarding for the audience.
It was a real joy to work with this hugely talented, multi-disciplinary team, including Dani Parr, Michelle Feuerlicht, Hannah Wood, Julie Belinda Landau, Alice Helps, Nick Ryan, Jess Bernberg, Mike Golembewski the teams at TPF, Factory 42 and the Almeida Theatre plus countless more.
