Stage Design Physical VS Digital | Afsoon Pajoufar
Time & Location
About the Event
در طول سال‌ها، برداشت ما از طراحی اجراهای زنده از مرزهای سالن‌های واقعی فراتر رفته‌است. به واسطه فاصله‌گذاری اجتماعی بسیاری از تئاترها به صورت مجازی خود را زنده نگه داشته‌اند با تولید آثاری برای پلتفرم‌های دیجیتال. بنا داریم در این جلسه به طور خلاصه به تفاوت‌های روند طراحی برای فضای فیزیکال و تفاوت‌هایش با فضای مجازی و دیجیتال بپردازیم.
Throughout the years, our perception of live performance design has exceeded the limits of a physical space. Due to recent social distancing, many theatre makers are staying virtually connected and creating works through digital platforms. We hope this conversation briefly explores approaches for design in traditional theatre productions versus hybrid forms.
