Souls Club Studios
About Us
Beneath the story-worlds lie a passion for preserving history, showcasing world culture and the stories woven in time.
​
History, Culture and the Arts have been essential to humankind and we relish the opportunity to give it a platform
Our Story
In January 2022, Souls Club Studios began merely as the 'Souls Club'. A metaverse members club specialising in cabaret and burlesque - imagined as a combination of an online members club and a metaverse burlesque and cabaret venue.
​
Shortly after the project's conception, we were contacted by Ideate, a Creative UK company and since then we have been working closely with Ideate and our business mentor to develop the project and further our progression.
​
"Okay, so what's outside the club?"
​
This question was a pivotal point in development and we became aware of the potential scalability within the ever growing story world. Expanding the world, expanding the genres, the types of performances and the sorts of spaces they could perform in, continuing to entwine our passions for history, colour, magic, culture, arts and theatre.
​
What began as Souls Club, became Avalonia, a fully living world, with a history and future of its own.
It was at this point the singular project showed promise as a company, with potential to complete a number of projects within the same vein, and Souls Club Studios began.
We are excited not only to present our magnum opus, Avalonia, but we are also filled with excitement for the future, and truly blending reality with illusion in a variety of fields.
What's Important To Us?
Arts & Performance
Across the globe there are countless forms of self expression within arts and performance.
Blissfully woven into humanity since the beginning of our species, the arts cover a huge variety of mediums, some of which are more widely known than others, we want to be able to shine a spotlight onto these art forms and truly showcase all the colour the arts has to offer, throughout time, throughout the world.
Over thousands of years and billions of lives the arts have brought happiness, emotion, empathy and a window into another world, another life, another's shoes. It can provoke thought, action, war and peace.
We have not only the ability to showcase these wonderful performers and artists, but we also have the opporunity to immortalise the physical, digitally. This can be a fully immersive performance, utilising technology such as virtual production and performance capture, as well as being usable data on human movemennt, physical feats and human achievements.
This can also be interactive exhibitions and installations, higlighting everything from dance to sculpture and paintings.
History & Heritage
It's important to us to incorporate history and heritage within this new digital age, not only preserving it for the future, but also to be able to keep its own story and journey alive.
​
​We are presented with the ability to preserve architecture and artefacts to near immortality creating usable assets that can be viewed in VR and AR, digitally via any device, and catalogued for the future. Each nook and cranny, each pinpoint detail, preserved, along with the hist​ory surrounding it, th​e stories, the life it has.
Not only will we be able to preserve history, we are also able to share our love for it, across the globe, and bring new and excited eyes to the worlds of the past.
Imagine walking through time, watching empires rise and fall, from within the shoes of someone who was there, or using AR to show how ruined buildings once stood.
The future of history is here, and we're so excited to be giving it a voice, and creating it a home.
Culture & Community
Culture is in everything we do, its what we eat, what we wear, where we came from, and where we are now. Culture is deep within humankind, and is unique and diverse as we are.
Over thousands of years we've developed as a species in such differing ways, with different ways of life, different beliefs and in a way, in entirely different worlds. Each mile of the earth over is full of myths, legends, histories, festivities and celebrations of humanity. Hundreds of thousands of ways people have philosophised their existence, defined their being and taken their journeys.
We are all human, we are all one, we celebrate our diversity and our differences, as well as our united strengths and experiences.
We are proud to honour the beauty of the world, and the people within in it, and we hope to be able to celebrate all of the worlds cultures and communities, and offer education and discovery, to ignite new passions and knowledge within a wider audience.
