🌌 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗻𝗮𝗶: 𝗔𝗻 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀🌌 At Blue Alchemy Labs, we love projects that push the boundaries of immersive storytelling. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗻𝗮𝗶, the debut production by Layered Realities and led by Connie Harrison, blended live performance, immersive technology, and sensory storytelling to take audiences deep into the dreamscape. Set in a 20,000-square-foot space in Clerkenwell, Somnai invited participants to journey through the stages of dreaming—making the surreal tangible with physical environments, VR, and multi-sensory elements. ✨ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 ✨ 🔹 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: From velvet-lined rooms with life-sized teddy bears to ethereal, mist-filled spaces, each environment was crafted to evoke different aspects of dreaming. 🔹 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Participants donned VR goggles to explore surreal settings—such as post-apocalyptic landscapes and underwater worlds—that blurred the lines between the physical and virtual. 🔹 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴: Using scent, designed in collaboration with a perfumery, the experience brought additional emotional depth, making each moment feel all the more vivid. ✨ 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 ✨ We were thrilled to collaborate with Layered Realities and Connie Harrison to bring this ambitious project to life: 🔹 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: From initial concept to detailed design, we provided technical direction to ensure the creative vision could be realised and effectively translated into a seamless experience. 🔹 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: We developed the initial AV, lighting, and show control systems that brought Somnai to life—ensuring every technical aspect worked harmoniously to support the immersive journey. 🔹 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: To maximise immersion, we worked on guest flow and automation, optimising transitions and movement through the experience. This allowed participants to journey naturally through the dreamscape, enhancing their sense of wonder. 🌠 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 🌠 Somnai was a bold fusion of immersive theatre, VR, and sensory storytelling, inviting audiences to explore the extraordinary world of dreams. We’re proud to have worked alongside Layered Realities and Connie Harrison to bring this vision to life—turning dreamlike experiences into reality through our expertise in technical direction and systems integration. 🔗 Curious to learn more about what we do? www.bluealchemylabs.com #Somnai #ImmersiveExperience #LayeredRealities #ConnieHarrison #BlueAlchemyLabs #VirtualReality #ImmersiveStorytelling #SensoryDesign #ThemedEntertainment #CreativeCollaboration #AugmentedReality #ImmersiveTheatre #ExperienceDesign #InnovativeStorytelling #TechnicalDirection #AVSystems #ImmersiveTechnology #ExperientialEntertainment #StorytellingThroughTechnology
