Dear List,
As the month draws to a close, I just wanted to
post a couple of recent performance-related
resources/events; one at Turbulence New York, and
one at Cornerhouse, Manchester. I think that they
give a good idea of the range of
performance-related new media approaches, from
blogs and live performance to "Networked
Performance" or more traditionally
theatrically-based new media spectacles.
Would anyone care to comment on areas that we haven't touched upon yet?
yours
Beryl
