TimeWave artists Beatriz Cabur and Alex Rios are racing ahead of the curve in their use of telepresence technology in the current programme, “Interteatro.”
As we approach the launch of TimeWave, the Spanish artists are already using live video streaming to connect artists in Spain and Italy via LoNyLa’s technology platform as sponsored by Vidyo. Beatriz and Alex are sharing the practical knowledge - nothing like being in the trenches in front of an audience - of using this technology with the TimeWave production team.
Produced by NITE, “Interteatro,” is a project by Beatriz Cabur and the Cervantes Institute of Milan, involving 46 people and aiming to promote contemporary Spanish drama worldwide.
“InterTeatro” is a new form of theatre that combines traditional methods with new forms of communication via the use of technology. It experiments with different combinations of recorded video, live streaming and live performance.
