Last night I stopped by the Denton clan at nytheatre.com central to record a podcast about performance on the internet and how this new technology affects theatre as a medium. Joining me were Chance Muehleck and Robin Reed. When it's live, I'll post a link, of course.
Definitely interesting perspectives. One thing I thought was particularly pointed was the question of whether or not using the internet to post videos and performance clips and the like was going to bring more audience into the theater (raise awareness with new outlets) or just move audiences further onto the screens.
We also discussed how new technology can be integrated onto the stage, and add some notes and possibilities that weren't there before about 5 years ago. Definitely check out LiveTheater's site and their work on The Attendants to see what we referenced.
Anyhow, watch this space for the podcast. Love to hear thoughts on any or all of the above.
