In contemporary theatre with diverse forms, creators use media technology such as real-time video, holographic projections or sound art leading the audience to unleash their imagination, interpret the theme of the performance, and question themselves throughout the experience. Media technology has brought ever-changing layers and possibilities to the theatre, and these novel experiences have not only stimulated instant feelings but have also connected the perceptual system of the audience, giving them an unusual understanding.
Where will media technology lead creators and audiences? Multimedia designer and theatre director Adrian Yeung will share with participants his experience of integrating technology into theatrical production and shed light on VR and motion capture technology.
