About Megaverse
‍
Megaverse is an interactive studio that uses digital innovation to develop bespoke immersive experiences. By merging digital innovation with theatre, film, gaming, storytelling and the visual arts, we push the creative potential of XR technologies (augmented, virtual and mixed realities).

Alongside developing AR and VR apps for clients, Megaverse are also developing a series of ‘in-house’ location based experiences. One of which, called SURGE, premiered at Sage Gateshead in June earlier this year. The piece is an immersive performance exploring climate change uitalising monolithic LED screens, motion capture and VR and featuring music by Anna Meredith, spoken word poetry by Vanessa Kisuule, and a live performance by The PappyShow.

Megaverse is led by directors Ben Carlin and John Ingle who work with an interdisciplinary team of highly skilled freelancers to create unforgettable and novel experiences by synthesising new and emerging technologies with storytelling - where the audience become active participants rather than passive spectators. The team mostly works remotely but also has a home at Kollider in Sheffield.

We are looking for a freelance marketing and publicity coordinator to support us on the promotion of a UKRI commissioned project to deliver a live action narrative game to audiences shedding light on the climate crisis, and working towards collective action from our remote community of players. The Climate Playmakers is a 6-part series hosted on Twitch featuring motion captured actors rendered as avatars in a games engine. This interactive theatre-game is an ambitious work and we’re looking for someone who is passionate about engaging under-represented communities in mutli-platform experiences.
