While digitization in the performing arts has exploded in the last year, many media artists have long used digital space as a stage and material for their art. Since the emergence of the Internet, aesthetics have been further developed, social spaces and arrangements have been questioned and subverted, and questions of liveness and the role of the audience or user have been considered.
Today we start the thematic focus with a presentation of the results of the workshop «Going Beyond - Theater in Digital Realities» with Gloria Schulz, Alla Popp and the workshop participants as well as projects, positions and players from Hamburg.
Online participation via zoom is possible. Please click the corresponding ticket in the ticket shop and you will receive a link just before the event!
At 2pm, there will already be an online showing. Right after, we will be hosting talks on «Practice BeyondDigital» by the #BeyondDigital mentors at 6pm!
The #BeyondDigital program is part of the project DOCK Hamburg in cooperation with WE PRESENT, #lichthof_lab / LICHTHOF Theater and the NODE Forum for Digital Arts.
DOCK Hamburg is a co-production of “Hauptsache Frei – Festival der Darstellenden Künste Hamburgs” and the “Dachverband freie darstellende Künste Hamburg e.V.” and is supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the Rudolf Augstein Foundation and the Claussen-Simon Foundation.
The workshop also receives crucial support by Fundus Theatre.

Her artworks as a creative coder and performing artist is shown throughout various festivals and theatres in Germany and abroad. Weaving in motion capture and photogrammetry with live art she created at the Theatre of Research FUNDUS THEATER in Hamburg the transgenerational workshops. For the participatory citizen project »Stadttheater« at the LICHTHOF Theater Hamburg she designed and performed the VR theatre piece »Raum im Kopf« and with her collective and young hackers she developed an AI that has learned what happiness is and now shares it with the visitors. As part of her fellowship at the Academy for Theater and Digitality in Dortmund, she overcomes and extends the singular experience in virtual worlds, both technically and narratively. Together with the »NODE Forum for Digital Arts« and the »studioNaxos« she designed the collaborative virtual space »GreenHouse NAXOS«.
