I’m off again but this time to the Newcastle This is Not Art Critical Animals Program. I’m chairing the following session:

And then presenting the day:

Towards a Poetics of Multi-Channel Storytelling.
Day/Time : Friday 1/10 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Location: Newcastle Regional Library Theatrette
Transmedia storytelling is, simply put, franchises: a movie is followed by a game, then perhaps a comic, website and so on. This paper outlines the poetics being developed for multi-channel storytelling; suggesting narrative schema intended to guide story creation and literary criticism. 30 min paper, follwed by discussion.
With Christy Dena

This will be the first time I present on the core of my research area so I’m really excited. I’m looking forward to getting some feedback on what the hell I’m doing. The paper will be posted up here once done.
