Abstract

In the period from 2006 to 2009 a series of professional development opportunities were created by Australia’s federal arts funding agency, the Australia Council, and its national film school, the AFTRS, to give artists a chance to develop skills, ideas and collaborative teams in cross-platform digital and interactive media (Fingleton, Dena & Wilson, 2008). The facilitator and designer of the programme, known as LAMP (Laboratory for Advanced Media Practice), Gary Hayes, had a background which included working with dancers and choreographers in Britain, and a particular interest and expertise in a digital, virtual world platform called Second Life. Through participation in LAMP, the authors of this chapter developed a collaboration with Hayes on the innovative design and authorship of a Second Life virtual world installation based on the storyworld of our film, book, and dance-theatre work Thursday’s Fictions (see Allen, Hayes & Pearlman, 2008).
