Design the Future: IE Arch & Design Events

Join events by IE School of Architecture & Design to explore innovation, sustainability, and design. Connect with experts, alumni, and students through panels, showcases, and masterclasses shaping the spaces of tomorrow

Live performance is no longer confined to a single space or audience configuration. This conversation explores how contemporary creators are merging theatre, dance, and embodied practices with XR technologies to design experiences that unfold across physical and virtual environments simultaneously. Moving between live presence and avatar-based interaction, the session reflects on how multi-user VR, motion capture, and virtual scenography are expanding the language of performance. Together we will explore how storytelling, choreography, and spatial media evolve when XR operates as a connective layer between physical and digital worlds, and when human-computer interaction becomes part of the dramaturgy itself. 


Part of Immersive Design Conversations, curated and moderated by Marie du Chastel, this series brings together leading voices to explore how XR and immersive technologies are reshaping cultural production, audience engagement, and creative practice.
