How can we make digital performances without big budgets and fancy gear?

Can the fragility of digital spaces be visible in our art?

Why should we use the screen as a small proscenium?

This workshop is for artists and alike who wants to explore a mix of theatre, film and live streaming. You will feel at home if you’re tired of Silicone Valley BS but still are drawn to making the digital part of performing your art.

Skärmteatern invites you to their world of theatrical streaming, a.k.a. Low tech, High Energy or Prepper’s Theatre. Block by block, softly and playfully, you’ll get closer to their digital performance tool box including:
-open source streaming,
-scriptwriting,
-scaling,
-usage of objects and costumes,
-camera angles,
-performing and directing techniques and more.

For each block the participants can, if they want, try out different interactions and follow their own desires and interests.

Each block will be accompanied with a brief talk about the artistic and technical choices made.

We will work with a web based streaming tool developed for artists and alike called Channelle, so bring your laptop. Remote participation is possible – and even encouraged.
Channelle is open source, privacy-conscious, audience-friendly and built with love for the performing arts by Viktor Lyresten from Maskinrepubliken.

The workshop is hosted by directors Stina Kajaso and Ebba Petrén who over the past five years have developed their own way of producing digitally mediated theatre performances under the name Skärmteatern.

Maximum number of participants: 15
