[-empyre-] networked performance

[Helen Varley Jamieson <helen@creative-catalyst.com>]

i would like to contribute to this discussion but i've been immersed 
in physical theatre for 10 days & now i'm immersed in tactical media 
for an intense weekend - drowning in emails, brain overdose. i've 
looked at the previous emails & haven't found a way in to the 
discussion so i'm just going to say what i do.

i create networked performances with globally dispersed collaborators
we devise, rehearse and perform online
remote performers coming together in live theatre via free chat 
tools, in real time
low-tech wizardry, cyberformance

we are exploring the meeting of The Body and The Avatar, the meeting 
of theatre and the internet, how internet technology might be used in 
theatre (not simply as a tool for distribution/broadcast) and how the 
physical Body performs in cyberspace. our work sits in the space 
between Theatre and New Media, which is still largely undefined 
territory, & we hope that with our experiments we can push the 
boundaries & initiate discussion.
