Episode Description
I'm Jessica Watkin and this is my twelfth thought.
And I'm gonna be honest for a second about online performances and how I don't think its interesting or engaging or useful for performance creators and performers right now to be trying to recreate the experience of in-person theatre online.
I think that, yes, we are given a computer screen which is a square and very proscenium but there's no way to engage with an audience in the same way, there's no way to connect as performers in the same way.
And so I think we've actually been given an opportunity to find Virtual Performance. To find methods that are unpolished and sticky and fun and rely on disconnection of wifi internets and dropped words because that is what it has to be right now. And that's exciting.
