In her final post in the series 'Feeling, Being' series, Tanuja asks "Why make expanded performance? Is there even a difference between expanded performance and theatre?"
Rather than sit out the pandemic at home, Olly & his company, Kilter, packed up their trans-universal tour bus & set up a festival in another dimension.
To build on the work of the Expanded Performance Fellows, we’re excited to introduce you to the four prototype teams that will develop new experiences, products and processes that bring these conversations to life.
Tanuja shares her work thinking about presence and agency in theatre – and how that might help design story experiences in VR where that sense of presence is crucial.
As far as Tanuja's aware, the business of VR is still being figured out. In her latest blog post she questions whether we might be able to capitalise on this. Is there a chance to genuinely try out new ideas, imagining broader audiences, multiple approaches to creating, and recognising different types of value?
If all we do is use technologies as novelty cool or digital delivery mechanisms, are we missing a trick? Tanuja explores what new layers of aesthetic expression might be unlocked when considering these technologies as material objects rather than functional ones.
