Revolutionising performance for our times

The global pandemic has significantly impacted the performing arts – with many arts venues closed for a time. Associate Professor Jonathan Bollen has found creative ways to collaborate with students online in a new genre of digital theatre. Actions, words and images are streamed in real-time from performers separated by distance – creating connection through live performance.
