MEDIA PRODUCTIONS FOR

LIVE PERFORMANCES

» In the digital world you cannot distinguish different disciplines by the physical nature

of the media by which work is created…Theater has always been an integrative, collaboratice art which potentially (and sometimes acutally) includes all art: music, dance, painting, sculpture etc.

Why not be aggressive in the tumultuous context of the Digital Revolution? «


(JOHN REAVES)

DIGITAL MEDIA FOR

LIVE PERFORMANCES

SELECTED WORKS

2010 - 2019

Theater as one of the oldest art forms is converging with digital technology and new media.

 

Creating, composing, designing audiovisual content for theater  is based on a long tradition of past forms of theatrical technology.


In the theatre context new media can probably be strongest when it is invisibly, almost magically, supporting the performance of the actors:

New Media contributing immersive qualities to the anthropocentric quality of the theatre stage.

Projections and videos can not only add cinematic narrative elements to a play  but the true potential lies probably where the physical set is extended with visual time-based media constructions.

 

Music and sounds  acoustically support on-stage actions, but the use of spatial sounds and the creation of acoustic environments transforms the perception of the space itself.
