Throughout history, performing arts have evolved through technological innovation—from gas lighting that transformed 19th-century theatre to digital projections that now reshape our stages. Today, artificial intelligence enters our rehearsal rooms and performance spaces, generating stage visuals in real-time, composing adaptive soundscapes, and even creating responsive set designs. But when does AI transition from being our tool to becoming our collaborator? When does the "algorithm" become the performer?

This workshop explores how AI is reshaping live performance across different disciplines. We begin by understanding how AI generates and manipulates content — from generative music that responds to performers' movements to creating promotional materials (posters, social media content) for performances and immersive 360-degree environments for VR/AR performance spaces.

We'll work through a creative progression, starting from "AI as technical support" and moving toward "AI as co-creator," examining at what point the creative authorship becomes genuinely shared. How it can enhance rather than replace the irreplaceable human element. Through hands-on experimentation with image generation, audio synthesis, and video manipulation tools, we'll discover where the boundaries blur between human intention and machine interpretation.

The session concludes with discussions on practical implementation in performance and the ethical considerations and implications of AI integration in arts. Bring your laptop, or if unavailable, a tablet capable of running web applications. We will create, experiment, and probably be surprised.
