Exciting day yesterday on the Creative East programme! In addition to our regular pitching sessions, we had the pleasure of seeing fantastic demos from two of our cohort members - Rubber Ducky Snacks and Hologram LTD. Daniel Kershaw from Rubber Ducky Snacks showcased their motion capture setup, featuring the Rokoko Smart Suit Pro 2, Smart Gloves and Coil Pro. To find out more about the work they do, head to www.rubberduckysnacks.com Deniz Opal from Hologram LTD demonstrated two products utilising the latest generation of VR headsets and their AR/VR passthrough technology. One was #VisualizeXR, a sales tool with Theme Park level immersion, the other a game #InvasionOfTheDemonicCrittersFromHell! It was great seeing the innovation both are bringing to the creative industries, and the amazing talent within our cohort and community.

Congratulations Andrea Cockerton!!
founder of in the dark, the 360°, live, sound experience. Born at 330ppm. arts & social entrepreneur + comms + pitching expert. 2018 observer magazine #50newradical + 2020 #shesaidso honouree.
I'm delighted & terrified in equal measure to announce the launch... or perhaps rebirth... of 'in the dark' - the live, 360° sound experience performed entirely in darkness & returning to London in January (with tickets on sale now at www.in-the-dark.com). This has been a labour of love! It was first created with in 2017, when it went on to sell out 40 shows across London & East Anglia, before covid - and a little skirmish with breast cancer - brought it all to its knees... But while out of action, it was something I held on to... because there is something just magical about having sound performed around you in total darkness, by musicians who are also in the dark (their concentration is right out there!). You simply hear differently, and because no one is watching you, you respond differently. The feedback we had at those shows pre-covid was profound & unbelievable - along the lines of "the panacea the world needs right now", "one of those gigs I will take to my grave", "the best musical experience of my life", and - my favourite - "a time & space where you can fall in love with the best of humanity all over again". Somehow, right now, we all need a bit of falling in love with humanity again I think. Do come. And do spread the word if you can. xx #creativity #immersive #whatson #gigs #london
