Research focus
Under what circumstances can we perform the illusion of violence for two media simultaneously – theatre and livestream broadcast – maintaining complete believability for both audiences? The two media achieve the illusion of violence using different techniques, to two very different audiences, seemingly mutually exclusive. The goal of this research is to test strategies to perform for both media simultaneously.
