Arts Council England and producer British Underground will present this year's South by Southwest festival showcase online.

This year's programme is the third Future Art and Culture showcase, with two more planned for 2022 and 2023.

The programme, taking place from March 16, will feature a performance of the Royal Shakespeare Company's immersive show Dream, music from a virtual avatar of tuba player recorded at Abbey Road Studios, and panels featuring representatives from the National Gallery and Royal Opera House, among others. 

Crispin Parry, CEO of British Underground said: "Despite the many challenges of the pandemic and SXSW's switch to digital we've brought together a fantastic line-up of projects and speakers that address the ongoing dialogue between the arts, technology and new audiences."
