I’m what you push down, drown out…

Shimmer is an immersive performance by Hannah Wood set in a mystical underwater world. It explores the monsters we hide in the depths of ourselves and what it means to bring them into the light.

It began in 2023, with R&D into ways to misuse interactive and immersive technologies, and evolved in 2024-5 with the support of an Arts Council England ‘Developing Your Creative Practice’ grant, which enabled Hannah to work with a range of artists and collaborators to bring new voice, sound and movement elements into her immersive storytelling practice.

It has been a journey into unknown waters and new forms of authorship.
