NOCTURN
Duration
John Darvell is an interactive digital dance artist and Director of NOCTURN, making participatory work with communities, venues and festivals for over 20 years. His practice centres on later-life dancers and interactive immersive technology, creating co-created encounters shaped by the people inside them. Good Enough — supported by Immersive Arts funding — grew out of an earlier residency at Cove Park, and this next phase of development brings the project back to where the initial idea first took shape. Co-created with older gay, bi and queer men, it explores shame, resilience and ageing through a portable, touch-led storybox that travels into rural Scottish spaces.
Christopher Hunt is a creative technologist and founder of Controlled Frenzy, specialising in accessible, audience-first interaction and the development of technology prototypes and installations. A fellow of the RSA and former Creative Technologist Resident of the Studio Wayne McGregor Questlab Network, he leads the technical R&D for Good Enough — including the smartphone journey, handcrafted storybox mechanics and AR layers. His work consistently positions technology in service of human connection rather than spectacle.
