In October 2021 we received a prestigious award from Innovate UK Creative Industries fund to complete a 6-month trial in the use of a telepresence robot as an interface for delivering enhanced remote live musical interaction sessions.

The robot was piloted at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, in the Nursing Simulation Suite at the University of Chester, in partnership with Philip Barker Centre for Creative Learning and in a family home community setting.

We commissioned a film-maker, Dominic Joyce to document the project. The film can be viewed on our vimeo page here: https://vimeo.com/704143314
