Presenting at the IEN Summit 2024

We were really excited to be selected to speak at this year’s IEN (Immersive Experience Network)’s annual conference.

John Sear, Sudha Bhuchar and myself (Katie Day) presented a session on the making of our new immersive book ‘A Rainbow for Amala’.

We were also able to take in some other great talks by many other makers of immersive theatre and experiences, including Sara Thacher from Disney Imagineering and Adrian Hon previously of Six to Start.

Nafeesa cares about the earth and wishes that everyone else did too. But it’s hard being an environmental activist when even your best friend keeps forgetting about his pledges to walk to school and pick up litter.

Join Nafeesa and her best friend Karim as they set out on a quest to befriend the quiet new girl Amala. What will give her back her smile? Use your phone or tablet to listen to their conversations, help them solve puzzles, crack codes and become part of their journey to uncover the truth. 

A Rainbow for Amala was created with input from children at Regents Park Community Primary School in Small Heath, Birmingham.

A Rainbow for Amala is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. Also funded by the Foyle Foundation, the Sir Barry Jackson Trust, and the Sir Robert McAlpine Strong Foundations Fund.
