This is a behind-the-scenes production test for An Immersive Experience by The Little Boy with the Torch, an upcoming large-scale light and sound installation exploring neurodiversity, sensory overwhelm, and the beauty of human perception.
During this test, we will be trialling the installation’s technical systems, lighting sequences, and sound design inside a temporary setup. Please note this is not the final version of the artwork — elements may change, and the environment will be more experimental than at the finished installation.
We inviten you to experience the work-in-progress and share feedback to help refine the piece ahead of its premiere in 2026.
Key details:
This is a test event, not the final installation
Limited capacity – booking essential
Looping audio, walk-around / sit down
Audience feedback welcomed
Your participation will directly support the development of a new immersive artwork. Thank you for being part of the process.

Warning: This test features varying sound levels and some narrow spaces to pass through. The installation contains shifting light that may affect viewers who are sensitive to light or have photosensitive epilepsy.

Do you struggle to make decisions and constantly second-guess yourself?
Do you worry about messing up or something going wrong at work?
Have you ever had niggling self-doubt thinking, “What if I ‘m not good enough for this role?”
Does criticism hit you hard and make you feel like you’ve failed?
If so, this workshop is for you.
Confidence isn’t something we’re born with, it’s a skill we can build and strengthen over time with the right techniques. It’s completely normal for confidence to ebb and flow throughout your career, especially when stepping into new leadership roles or tackling unfamiliar challenges.
Having previously worked in the Marketing & Comms industry, Charlotte know’s what it’s like when everyone around you seems to be bursting with confidence. Whether they’re pitching ideas, leading campaigns, or presenting to clients, it’s easy to forget that even the most creative and expressive people experience moments of doubt. Charlotte will share tips and tricks to help you feel more confident at work.
In this session, we will:
Bust common confidence myths such as ‘you need to be an extrovert to be confident’
Explore how confidence impacts our behaviour and how others see us
Share 3 actionable ways to boost your self-confidence this week
This is an interactive session where we encourage you to have your cameras on. It doesn’t matter if you’re eating your lunch or WFH, we’d love to see your face! If you’re in the office it might be worth finding a place where you can talk openly and share with the group.
