Performers, academics, and hybrids between the two present case studies of new technologies being deployed in or around performances ranging from traditional theatrical plays, through interactive projects in which the audience drive the story, to video installations (no karaoke). Their topics include the emergence of hyper-reality in performance, developing tools and methods through artistic research, embodied interface/sensory cinema, reactive digital forms of body and clothing in performance, and democratizing the audience relationship.
