The Studio

The InterAct 2021 live streaming stage

Our 2021 festival was live streamed from the HDAV state-of-the-art studio in Henderson. A combination of live performances and pre-recorded material were presented by our two hosts to provide an exciting live event.

Ben Moore, our amazing master of ceremonies was joined by the wonderful Amy Workman as co-host and together the formed they duo of the Mad Hatter and Alice, to present our Tea Party in Wonderland themed event.

The studio was fully equipped with a stage, multiple lights, three cameras, microphones and a giant LED screen backdrop – everything required to broadcast it live to the world and record it for sharing in the future.

While we would have loved to be with you at Corban Estate the studio experience was pretty special.
