Local Player: Arts House

Intersections between live and digital forms

Come to Arts House, Melbourne’s centre for contemporary performance for morning tea with the Arts House team, led by Artistic Director Emily Sexton and General Manager Sophie Travers.

We invite you to join us for a panel discussion on new practices that focus on the intersection between live and digital forms, and what this can mean for new partnerships, touring and residency approaches. What is the live experience in a contemporary world where the relationship between on and offline is totally blurred? How is performance reckoning with the rise of Golden Age of streaming television? How is the intimacy of watching performance a dark room with strangers shifting? Speakers include dancer and choreographer Amrita Hepi, artist, filmmaker and performer Emile Zile, and dancer and choreographer Angela Goh.

Date Tuesday 25 February 2020
Time 10:00am – 11:30am
Venue Arts House, North Melbourne Town Hall
