Immersive Dartmoor Folktales
Immersive Dartmoor Folktales
Exploring digital soundscapes that bring Dartmoor folk tales to life.
Sara, Kerry and Lisa want to extend their practice and create a new immersive folktale experience (either indoor, outdoor or online) that allows people to remain immersed in Dartmoor’s nature while experiencing the tales digitally. They aim to remove barriers to access to both folktale and landscape, and encourage new audience demographics.
They hope that this development opportunity in the immersive arts will deepen the connection of story to land through use of digital GPS, give us insight into the use of high quality field recordings in storytelling, enable us to make more impactful future work for a wider range of audiences and explore our options for creating immersive audio experiences.

Aims of the Project
We hope that this development opportunity in the immersive arts will deepen the connection of story to land through use of digital GPS.
Giving us insight into the use of high quality field recordings in storytelling, enable us to make more impactful future work for a wider range of audiences and explore our options for creating immersive audio experiences.
Aims of the Project
Immersive Dartmoor Folk Tales will explore the practicalities and potential of creating a binaural sound experience that combines natural sound with the telling of traditional Dartmoor folk tales. Two storytellers and a sound artist will combine forces to explore the use of this digital technology in the landscape.
