Robyn is a stage, screen and XR director based as Development Researcher at the Hat Trick Lab and Founder of Liminal, where she specialises in the development of transmedia ‘spectacle’ IP universes that harness emerging technologies – in realtime virtual production, spatial entertainment, genAI and more – to engage the audiences of the future through new more immersive, interactive and embodied forms and experiences.

Robyn’s 10-year background in theatre has seen her work for the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre Studio and on internationally touring live cinema productions in Europe. Since her Clore Leadership ‘Transform’ Fellowship in 2021, she has collaborated with companies ranging from Epic Games, StoryFutures and ILM, been commissioned by ScreenSkills to deliver specialist virtual production training, jointly won a Silver BIMA Award for her work on an interactive digital comedian prototype exploring the ethical implications of using genAI within the creative industries, and been awarded Innovate UK funding with which to shoot a 180 immersive film testing new workflows for spatial content creation. Robyn is a regular keynote speaker and consultant at cross-sector events such as Innovate UK’s BridgeAI Annual Showcase and across the creative industries.
