Last year, UpStage received special mention in the the Creativity category of the New Zealand Open Source Awards. This category didn’t exist until we asked the organisers why there wasn’t a category for the arts. UpStage met the criteria for both the education category and the community category, but didn’t have a chance in either because it’s not our main purpose. As we weren’t the only project in this situation, the organisers created a new category, Creativity.
Now, UpStage has been nominated for the SourceForge Community Choice Awards; have we got a chance in “Best Project”, or “Most Likely To Change The World” …?? we’re still missing the arts category!
The 080808 curatorial team are excited to share with you the line up for the 080808 festival. In what is becoming a tradition for UpStage festivals the range of offerings sees shows from those produced by fledgling cyberformers [our youngest performer is 6!] through to shows by veterans of the digital stage.
Check out the range of performances for 080808, see if there is an RL access node near you [or offer one!] or from the comfort of your own computer join us for 080808 - oh can’t wait!
The UpStage User Manual (2.2MB PDF) has now been updated to include the new features and inhancements introduced with V2.01. These include the on-stage audio tools and improvements to media management in the workshop area.
