ABOUT
Sam Williams
I am a writer and creator of interactive experiences, with a background in journalism, immersive theatre and interactive art.
My approach is global and interdisciplinary, influenced by proficiency in several languages and cross-cultural collaboration. With experience spanning popular media, entertainment and cutting-edge contemporary art, I am comfortable in many styles and genres, and draw on a range of commercial, classical and experimental approaches.
Interactive experiences I’ve created or collaborated on have appeared at Berlin’s Volksbühne, London’s Young Vic, Camden People’s Theatre, the BBC and Edinburgh Festival. Awards include an AHRC Scholarship, Kone Foundation Saari Fellowship and National Theatre Playwriting Bursary.
My writing has appeared for press, broadcast and art institutions throughout the US, Europe, and Middle East, including The Guardian and BBC. As art editor of Exberliner Magazine, I specialized in cross-disciplinary contemporary art innovating new kinds of audience experience. As a journalist, I’ve covered everything from global politics to urban cultures.
I have also published academic papers on emergent narrative aesthetics and taught narrative design for performance at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, where I was a visiting lecturer for several years. For games and interactive work, visit htttps://www.doublezerogames.com/portfolio
