Abstract
Live performance is making increasing use of digital technologies. Sporting events, rock concerts and stage performance are all becoming synonymous with high production values based largely on advances in technology. Theatre has been steadily exposed to newer technologies such as digital projection and amplification; these are seen to be proliferating within the performance space. The increasing use of such media in performance is due to artists wishing to explore and work with new technologies as they become more accessible. Audiences raised on media sensibilities are coming to expect mediatised performance environments. The technology itself is becoming cheaper, brighter and louder for the stage director to utilise. This, in turn, is creating new challenges for the stage director and performer as to how the live performer interacts within such mediatised theatrical environments.
