Welcome to Performance and Digital Media

This blog is an exploration of the new possibilities in performance arts generated by digital media. I am particularly interested in how new methods of production, presentation and distribution alter how the audience receives the work. Digital media provides limitless possibilities for reaching new and varied audiences.
