Take My Hand offers an introduction to the diverse world of interactive and immersive theatre. Aimed at students from every theatrical discipline, we offer a range of practical workshops providing an overview of this increasingly popular sector of the theatre industry. With shows like The Drowned Man, You Me Bum Bum Train and The Crystal Maze Live Experience enjoying widespread coverage, and with the boundaries between play, experience and installation blurring, we introduce students to ideas and skillsets that few training programmes yet offer.

The programme is generously hosted by the National Maritime Museum, who actively engage in non-traditional storytelling as part of their cultural offering. Part of Royal Museums Greenwich the National Maritime Museum is the world’s largest maritime museum with a vast collection that spans artworks, maps and charts, memorabilia and thousands of other objects.
