The Space

A free webinar hosted by The Space, looking at how staged work can be reimagined for the screen.

In this webinar we’ll share case studies from producers and directors whose work involves reimagining staged work for viewing as a live stream, on demand, or on TV. Our speakers will discuss their approach to rethinking a performance to be captured on camera, and how theatre production teams collaborate creatively and practically with peers from the world of digital, tv, and video.We’ll consider planning for a capture, and some of the key issues in production and post-production. We’ll discover how different production practices mesh together, what perspectives each group bring, and where and how they learn from one another.And now that audiences expect digitally distributed work, we’ll also consider how theatres and performance companies have developed the expertise needed to deliver high quality captures, and what more can be done to upskill the sector.The case studies we’ll share:<a href="https://brumhour.co.uk/birmingham-rep-announces-the-park-bench-plays/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Park Bench Plays</a> Birmingham Rep’s Park Bench Plays were originally devised as a pop-up tour around the city in parks, public squares and bus stations, and then <a href="https://www.skygroup.sky/article/sky-arts-announces-new-slate-of-programmes-to-mark-one-year-as-a-free-channel" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">commissioned for broadcast on Sky Arts</a>.
