Project description

Genre: Theatre of Affection - Live interactive analogue/digital performance gathering –

Duration:  1.55 h

 

We are inviting international co-performers to our plate camera photo studio  to engage in our analogue-digital photo shoot gathering via a custom-designed interface with our digitally connected, traditional wooden plate camera and our plate camera photographer. The acts in front of the camera will be live-streamed from a Zoom theatre space via OBS to YouTube.

Our live performance will be communicated as a theatrical event and participants are expected to arrive with a poem of their own choosing  (or their own writing) to introduce themselves poetically. A moderator/storyteller (Antje Budde), wearing a digital mask (using snapcam), will lead through the show, introduce everyone and explain behind-the-scenes setup. Don Sinclair will operate the show spaceship (Zoom, OBS, streaming to Youtube and his own MaxMSP program.) Heike Sommer and Martin Kulinna will operate  and document the plate camera photo studio.

All performers will present their poem and and will be photographed in alphabetical order. Each person has about 5 min..

The photos along with sound recordings of the poetry and a short info about each photographed performer will be presented in a virtual online exhibition on Mozilla Hubs on Sept.4, 2021 as part of IMAF festival. Bring a glass to raise along with your avatar!
