Over the couple of decades technologies were developing as fast as never before. Now we can oder a taxi or food delivery or even manage our bank accounts using just our phone. But what about theatre? Theatre neglected the opportunities high tech could offer. But due to the quarantine theatre industry had to reconsider this.
We believe that technology brings us new opportunities in theatre production aswell as in education. Even if it comes to physical theatre,dance and movement. Zoom, YouTube, Instagram, Telegram – how can we use it in theatre production? Does it help us or does it destroy?
We are ready to share our experience on our workshop “Technology and Theatre: collaboration or confrontation”.
The workshop gives an overview of the most effective approaches and tools of online interaction.
We hope our workshop will be useful for many people working in theatre worldwide. We were trying to make it informative, practical and fun..
