On the Web

  • Rich Video Archiving: A New Architecture for Preserving the History of a Production.

    The Problem: Traditional theatrical archives—digitized or not—are isolated from the performances whose histories they record. The few video archives that do exist generally have little or no material, other than the videos themselves; but even when they do have something more, those materials are also isolated from performance and cumbersome to access.

    The Solution: Create rich video archives that moment-by-moment synchronize performance and archives.

  • Hamlet: A Performance Project. This site is an ongoing record of a production of Hamlet. We're going to show you—theatrical warts and all—the experience of a group of actors, designers, and technicians as they prepare to stage the play at the University of Calgary in February 2009.
