Live Performance in a Time of COVID-19

Neverthere

Barra Collins and Pete Gunson explore how to make uncancellable live performance in 2021

Over the course of the hour, Pete and Barra discuss digital platforms, open-source technologies, and affordable technical gubbins that can be explored to start creating live performance online, offline and somewhere in between. They also speak about how working between in and outdoors holds exciting possibilities for artists who want to continue to create live performance or artistic interventions in the real world. This event is part of a collaborative project by Neverthere and Bath Spa Productions - a programme of skills workshops, conversations and events for early career creatives and established artists looking to develop their practice. These sessions are designed to support engagement with digital platforms and immersive technologies, and to connect the wider artistic, business and academic community. Neverthere and Bath Spa Productions are working closely together with the shared purpose of stimulating partnerships and encouraging dialogue and knowledge exchange to enable a creative, innovative and artistic digital performance landscape.Barra CollinsBarra Collins is the Artistic Director of LAStheatre and Neverthere.
