Intersections between Live and Digital Forms
– Hosted by Emily Sexton with Angela Goh, Emile Zile and Amrita Hepi
About
Listen to Arts House Artistic Director Emily Sexton in a panel discussion on new practices that focus on the intersection between live and digital forms, and what this can mean for new partnerships, touring and residency approaches. What is the live experience in a contemporary world where the relationship between on- and offline is totally blurred? How is performance reckoning with the rise of the Golden Age of streaming television? How is the intimacy of watching performance in a dark room with strangers shifting? Speakers include dancer and choreographer Amrita Hepi, artist, filmmaker and performer Emile Zile, and dancer and choreographer Angela Goh.
