Performance and Technology: Changing the Audience Experience
Theatre has seen an explosive move towards interactive and immersive experiences. How can technology play a role in this rapidly expanding field, without cannibalizing the power of live performance? Andrew Schneider (theatre creator and designer) and Bobby McElver (sound designer) will discuss their work in using cutting-edge technologies like spatialized audio, Wave Field Synthesis, volumetric lighting, and audience and performer tracking to change audiences' relationship to performance and redefine what theatre can look, sound, and feel like.
