Founder

Theo Holloway

Theo spent a big chunk of childhood making weird noises with tracker software and making cheesy platform games in AMOS – plus ça change, innit?

Theo reluctantly read physics at university, though ended up spending most of his time doing sound and music for shows, including one that opened right in the middle of finals. Post Uni, he went on to drama school to try his hand at being a sound designer.

He worked in venues, then toured for a while and flirted with employment before going freelance in 2010.

Immersive theatre wasn’t initially on Theo’s radar, but all that changed during the first preview of his debut immersive show, in his own words “The audience turned up, in costume, in droves, and up for it, and I thought that this was probably a thing I wanted to do. And as it’s a new area, there are mercifully few stick-in-the-muds telling you how it should be done.”

These days, Theo lives in North East Hampshire with his family. He enjoys long walks with his wife, being a source of amusement to his daughter and cats, and going to the gym, where he can listen to antisocial music and have a think.

Armed with his trusty software <span style="color: #24ff87">Wintermute</span> and a band of loyal followers, Theo Holloway set forth into unchartered lands building <span style="color: #24ff87">thrilling immersive experiences</span> for the people.
