The Straad Players

'The Straad Players' is a project being developed by the Institute of Digital Innovation at the University Of Teesside.

Essentially it involves creating and performing plays in a virtual world (2nd Life) and making films. It allows participants to simulate many of the activities involved in creating productions and movies without the costs and many of the difficulties encountered in the real
world. All of the following roles can be accommodated:

Actors, set designers, set builders, costume designers, script writers, camera crew, editors, post production,audio technicians, voice characterisations, director, musicians.
