feels so weird..

After 2 months of solid remote fittings and costume makes I should now be in real fittings and a film set in Italy with some very precious beloved ghosts.

Damn covid restrictions and lockdown for making all this way too complicated and for keeping me away from the amazing people I work with and the job I love.

zooming for sanity /  by Mayou Trikerioti

I am thrilled to announce an amazing line up of Speakers that will join from across the globe and give us a 5 minutes check in on their theatrical state of affairs.

Some posts here acted like a jolt to remind me why I set the page up in the first place back in May. 

It is important to find out as much as possible about what is going on at any given moment, as what was true for July was not in September and then maybe changed again in October. Especially as governments (supportive or not of the arts) are opening and closing the theatres while trying to zig zag through Covid-19. And the more we know the better we can zig zag theatre through Covid.

I hope this is the first of many!

zoom theatre vs live theatre /  by Mayou Trikerioti

People ask real theatre or zoom theatre as two different entities.

Provocation:

once, there was theatre design; and lighting; and then projection; and video design as part of the narrative and dramaturgy.

now there is zoom. is that another link in the chain, a medium to incorporate into the same narrative rather than a separate contradicting element?

Can live/zoom be used as part of the live (to a live audience) performance? be used to enhance the dramaturgy and possibly reach out to more people?

Reinventing the Performing Arts Post Covid-19 /  by Mayou Trikerioti

To whom it may concern:

Just a thought...

A group is a platform to share thoughts, strategies, fears and how to go about things in order to re-invent and re-define the future of the performing arts. As we may slowly stagger back past the first peak in most countries this can serve as a springboard for different practitioners from different countries to speak up, share and maybe cross-pollinate what is to be the new exciting future. It is, after all, up to us to make it exciting.

So just a thought, and a sense of urgency as I see some movement and I feel there is need for cross pollination across the globe on this one, like COVID spread, but in reverse.

The Performing Arts professionals have always been so incredible with being generous with the audience.In this group professionals have been generous with each other.A dialogue can definitely move anything forward.
