8:00-9:00 Breakfast on your own 9:00-10:00 Theater Technology Presentations Panel Tom Gorman, Coventry University The Immersive Telepresence in Theatre project repurposes a variety of telepresence technologies/web-based applications to investigate actor training, rehearsal, education and performance. In this project, two identical spaces, linked by H.323 videoconferencing technology, were created in Tampere (Finland) and Coventry (UK), each with rear projection screens giving the participants the impression of a shared space. Sylvia Lane, Bath Spa University Internationalisation, globalisation, and digital communication play an integral part in both, the creation of new theatre works and the facilitation of effective and progressive teaching and learning environments. Marina Hanganu, The “George Ciprian” Theatre Buzău, Romania Examine the phases of creation and presentation of “Tele-Encounters: The Planet of Lost Dreams Telematic Theatre Performance.” “Tele-Encounters” explored telepresence and family relationships in the context of migration from a sociological and artistic standpoint. The theatre play is thus based on interviews with Romanian migrants in Spain and left-behind children and spouses in Romania. It is the story of a family separated by migration.
