Indeed, the proliferation of this hybrid kind of digital theatre which was imposed by the pandemic has triggered new discussions among theatre practitioners and theorists on the boundaries of traditional theatre, the (new?) relationship of performers and spectators, the (redefined?) concepts of space, time and liveness. Even though the current digitalization of theatre has often been seen as an imposed situation for artistic and/or financial survival, it still, however, has offered the space for the transgression of theatrical and personal boundaries, creating new trajectories of artistic and political expression. In this article, it will be argued that Elias Adam’s mise en scène constitutes a brilliant example of queer, digital theatre, which has managed to creatively integrate the unprecedented conditions of the pandemic, making some strong political points in a highly aesthetic form with pop and social media references.","PeriodicalId":38661,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44015847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social gathering restrictions during the Covid-19 lockdown demanded that these shows be shut down. However, site-specific performances that apply emergent and novel mobile digital technologies have been afforded a compelling voice in showing how performance practitioners and audiences might proceed under the stifling constraints of lockdown and altered live performance paradigms, however they may manifest. Although extended reality (XR) technologies have been in development for a long time, their recent surge in sophistication presents renewed potentialities for site-specific performers to explore ways of bringing the physical world into the digital to recreate real-world places in shared digital spaces. In this research, we explore the potential role of digital XR technologies, such as volumetric video, social virtual reality (VR) and photogrammetry, for simulating site-specific theatre, thereby assessing the potential of these content creation techniques to support future remote performative events. We report specifically on adapting a real-world site-specific performance for VR. This case study approach provides examples and opens dialogues on innovative approaches to site-specific performance in the post-Covid-19 era.","PeriodicalId":38661,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49509426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, many cultural institutions, theatrical organisations and theatre artists were forced to experiment with theatrical practices that did not involve the element of physical coexistence between audience and performers. This paper attempts to investigate the outcome of a theatrical event that lacks a shared physical space between the performers and the audience, by focusing on five typical examples of such theatrical experimentations in mid-pandemic Greece. The five experimentations are researched under three analytical categories, namely ‘space’, ‘time’ and ‘other space and time’. The main questions addressed are what is new, what is transformed and what is missing when theatrical practices are forced to transfer to the digital world. The focus is on both the performers and the audiences, therefore semi-constructed interviews – with actors, directors and audience members – were held. Finally, conclusion is reached regarding those transfers and the transformative power of the theatrical praxis in physical and digital environments.","PeriodicalId":38661,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42710382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Online video conference tools and virtual reality (VR) platforms seemed like good opportunities to explore new ways of connecting their art with their audiences. In this emergent ecosystem, there has been a specific interest in experimenting with VR social platforms given that its inherent technologies enable profoundly interactive experiences. Theatre companies and other creative projects like the Royal Shakespeare Company, Double Eye Productions or La Cuarta Pared VR have been producing cutting-edge live theatre experiences in VR that question the very essence of what live performance is all about. Triggered by the need to understand what is conceptually and artistically involved in these emergent experiences, the authors outlined an in-conversation piece combining both academic insight and reflective and creative writing. Drawing from netnographical and arts-based fieldwork in VR platforms, as well as key studies in theatre, performance, immersive media, gaming and other related fields, the goal of this paper is to present a gateway for a conceptual framework consisting of a series of foundational features and practical guidelines that define live theatre and performance in VR.","PeriodicalId":38661,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46018112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the study presented here, we focus on the 2020 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which offered a unique opportunity to understand how performers coped with the enforced switch to digital. Underpinning the Fringe Festival ethos is the attitude of experimentation, and we propose that there is much to learn from the response of performers and producers to this unprecedented situation. As one interviewee put it; ‘we got given a hefty dose of lemons, and the point of all of this was, just go and make lemonade and see what happens’ (Yvette). In this article, we focus on the challenge of managing the audience experience in the digital space, particularly before and after a performance. We note that familiar rituals play a key role for physical audiences and we position this idea within the Trajectories Framework, identifying coherent journeys through a user experience (Benford and Giannachi 2011. Performing Mixed Reality. The MIT Press. ISBN:978-0-262-01576-9), in order to frame it with digital audiences in mind. We provide recommendations regarding aspects for performers and producers to address as online and digital becomes an increasingly accepted part of the festival landscape.","PeriodicalId":38661,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41984585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press], as well as the practices of surveillance capitalism outlined by Zuboff [The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for the Future at the New Frontier of Power. London: Profile Books]. In conducting the analysis, attention is specifically paid to data as a ‘process of translation’ [Blackman, L. 2019. Haunted Data: Affect, Transmedia, Weird Science. London: Bloomsbury Academic], how the audience-participant as data-subject is identified and known and the ways in which data passes in and out of bodies in these works. In looping together these underlying computational happenings with the dramaturgical practices of the performances, I argue that a richer and expanded perspective of online performance practice is afforded – one which opens up the relationships between what we see, feel and experience and the other unseen, but present happenings centred in data exchange and processing within the events in question.","PeriodicalId":38661,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42775955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project aims to develop effective and affordable new approaches to connect performers from their separate homes and place them within virtual sets online where they can rehearse and perform together. The report discusses the history of telematic performance and explains how this research is using some of those established approaches to open up alternative possibilities for theatre and dance companies working in and beyond the current pandemic. To date, the project has shown how a range of telematic chromakey systems can be employed to bring a whole new level of creativity to videoconference-based performance work, freeing the performers’ bodies from the entrapment of Zoom boxes and co-locating them in specially designed 3D environments. Drawing on case studies from some of the project’s eight residencies with professional performance groups, the authors discuss how existing techniques have been adapted for different levels of experience, and how the project has offered new ways of working. Whilst the pandemic is expected to be a time-limited issue, these techniques hold value for performers and creators of theatre and dance well beyond ‘lockdown’.","PeriodicalId":38661,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41657018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
