BELLYFEEL & LEEDS SCHOOL OF ARTS IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH LEEDS ARTS RESEARCH CENTRE PRESENT:
A one-day online conference about interactive stories – their creators, fans and commentators.
We're all experiencing interactive stories, more every day. What happens between the hearts, minds and fingers of the modern audience and the creative minds who make these stories?
