ABOUT
Daniel Herten (He/Him) is a Sound and Video Designer, Composer and Creative Technologist working across theatre, installation and interactive media. Growing up in Fiji, China and Thailand before traveling to Sydney Australia - Daniel now collaborates on Bidjigal and Gadigal land to tell stories. His work explores the ways audiences interface with storytelling, and how emerging and integrated technologies can enhance this experience to create a two-way discussion between ourselves and our art.
As a graduate of the National Institute of Dramatic Art, Daniel combines his technical and artistic approaches to explore and develop an increasingly responsive and immersive take on contemporary theatre and live performance.
