Noah Nelson built the go-to platform for immersive storytelling long before the rest of the industry caught up. As the founder and publisher of No Proscenium, he’s spent nearly a decade tracking the underground currents shaping immersive art and entertainment, from warehouse theater in L.A. to multi-sensory museum takeovers in Tokyo. His archive of 500+ podcast episodes and thousands of reviews is a map for anyone trying to navigate this evolving space. But Noah doesn’t stop at reporting. He’s also co-founded two critical convening spaces for the community: The Immersive Invitational Series, a fast-moving 48-hour flash festival popping up in cities like Los Angeles and Denver, and The Next Stage Immersive Summit, a premier gathering for creators and producers. Both platforms have become testing grounds for new formats, new collaborators, and new ways to scale immersive work. Equal parts documentarian and deep thinker, Noah’s real gift is connecting the dots between disciplines, people, and ideas. His work continues to fuel the evolution of the immersive industry, giving both fans and insiders the inspiration to build what’s next.
