SPARKFEST RESIDENCY

PANEL EVENT WITH Q&A

Panel Event with Q & A
How do we take performance online without losing the “live” performance?

Following on from Neverthere residency’s today, mentors Alan Richardson (Artistic Director, Surge), Sumit Sarkar (Visual Artist) and Barra Collins (Director, Neverthere Festival) reflect on the days activity and the wider questions on how we can retain the ‘live’ in our performance when taking performance work online with the participants of the workshops. 

This public event is an ideal opportunity to gain insights and discuss how digital technologies can be harnessed in the making of live performance.
