Book Presentation:
This book presents a comprehensive history and analysis of Secret Cinema - the leading producer of large-scale immersive experiences in the UK. It examines how the company has evolved over twelve years from an experimental and artisanal organisation to a global leader in the field. The book focuses on the UK in late-2019, a point at which the immersive sector had grown significantly through its increasing contribution to GDP and its widespread recognition as a legitimate cultural offering. It captures an organisation and a sector transitioning from marginal and subcultural roots to a commodifiable and commercial form, now with recognisable professional roles and practices, which has contributed to the establishment of an immersive experience industry of national importance and global reach.
About the authors:
Sarah Atkinson is Professor of Screen Media at King's College London Helen W. Kennedy is Professor of Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Nottingham
Press Reviews:
'The book offers a deep dive based on exhaustive research that goes beyond simply documenting the history of Secret Cinema. Instead, it advances a critical framing contextualising the organisations development historically, culturally, and industrially through numerous case studies.'
