BOOK: Scènes numériques. Anthologie - Digital Stages. Anthology (original) (raw)

This anthology, with a foreword by Steve Dixon, professor at LASALLE College of the Arts, brings together the writings of artists and interviews with directors and performers working with digital technology. It offers 65 contributions grouped into seven parts devoted to time, space, dramaturgy, actor, spectator, device, and creative process. The texts were mainly conceived between 2014 and 2017 and were written, in most cases, exclusively for this book. Each part is preceded by a theoretical context that is intended to sketch a topography of the major transformations affecting the paradigm under analysis. The present contributions deal with the major changes affecting the theatre, transforming it into a digital stage, as well as its transition to the post-digital era. These are first-hand accounts, on the spot, coming from the experience of the stage and therefore relatively rare to find and little archived. It is a unique collection on the market because it deals specifically with theatre and its hybrid forms. It is a rich source of information for researchers, PhD students and also students. The book supports courses on digital performance in universities, art schools and theatre schools.
