IN PURSUIT OF REPETITIVE BEATS
COME WORK WITH US AT TESTBED
WE ARE RECRUITING FOR TEMPORARY STAFF
We are really excited that In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats, an interactive virtual reality experience by award-winning filmmaker Darren Emerson, will be coming to Leeds this August.
The immersive installation takes audiences on a journey into the past. Bringing to life a revolution in music and society. We are inviting audiences to go in search of an illegal rave, one night in Coventry in 1989. From poster-strewn bedrooms to pirate radio stations, police headquarters to secret warehouses, visitors will step-into the shoes of rave culture pioneers as they go in search of the party in this interactive VR experience. This is a unique experience that enables participants to feel the trepidation, excitement and euphoria that was acid house.
We are looking to create a team to be involved in this amazing project. The team consists of a Duty Manager, Visitor Hosts, and Tech Managers who will work together to ensure the smooth running of the experience.
The project is open to the public from 15th August - 17th September and training sessions will be held on 11th - 12th August and press day on 13th August. You must be available for the training sessions and throughout the period on a full-time or part-time basis.

ABOUT THE EXPERIANCE
Visitors can book tickets in groups of up to 4 people at a time, every 45 minutes. On arrival, visitors will be met by Experience Hosts and taken through a lightly scripted “onboarding” process that includes welcoming visitors, answering questions, giving a short briefing about the experience, supporting visitors to put on VR headsets and feel comfortable about the experience, overseeing visitors during their experience, and guiding them through the exhibition spaces.
From the moment that guests arrive, to the end of the experience, we want them to have the best time possible, and that is where you come in...
Working on In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats offers a unique opportunity to develop both technical and interpersonal skills, while gaining valuable hands-on experience with cutting-edge immersive technologies.
