An exciting cultural milestone is happening right here in Downtown Miami with the first annual Miami Immersive Intensive (MII), co-produced by two of Miami’s leading arts innovators—Juggerknot Theatre Company and Live Arts Miami—from June 26–29, 2025.
Miami Immersive Intensive is more than a training—it’s a movement. Designed as a four-day convening of national and local artists, MII features workshops, keynotes, and curated immersive outings with pioneers in the field, including:
- Mikhael Tara Garver, director of Disney’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
- Lauren Storr, Senior Producer at Punchdrunk (Sleep No More)
- Alexandra Renzo, Creative Director at Meow Wolf
And we’re especially proud to spotlight Miami’s own local legends:
- Octavio Campos, acclaimed choreographer and director of intermedia performance
- Pioneer Winter, award-winning dancer and artistic director of Pioneer Winter Collective
- France-Luce Benson, celebrated playwright of Miami Bus Stop Stories
- Natasha Tsakos, known for pioneering live performance in microgravity
- Tanya Bravo, producer of Miami Motel Stories and founder of Juggerknot Theatre Company
This initiative marks a turning point in Miami’s cultural landscape—creating access to world-class immersive training without having to leave the city. We’re positioning Miami as a global hub for immersive storytelling, with a program designed to train local and national artists in the tools, language, and methodology of immersive and site-specific experiences while fostering collaboration with industry leaders both nationally and internationally.
