The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts is excited to announce Swing @ the Kimmel, an interactive and FREE virtual reality swing installation in Commonwealth Plaza. In collaboration with Thrill Laboratory and “Thrill Engineer” Professor Brendan Walker of England, Philadelphians are invited to visit the Kimmel Center for this unique, artistic experience that conjures up memories of favorite childhood pastimes, blended with cutting-edge technology and imaginative designs. This extended FREE programming on the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus is an expansion of ongoing monthly programming that includes early childhood music education, jazz, Latin dance, and more.
VR Playground is created by Brendan Walker and produced by his Thrill Laboratory, Kimmel Centre for the Performing Arts, and the Mixed Reality Laboratory; based on an original commission from Norfolk & Norwich Festival and Horizon Digital Economy Research, supported by In Situ, Arts Council England, Without Walls, and GDIF.
