Welcome to the Open UpStage Foyer

Open UpStage is for artists and interested groups and individuals to learn about UpStage, and create and present your own performances. For more information,

080808 UpStage Festival

The second UpStage festival will take place on 8 August 2008 and will feature live online performances by artists from around the world. The call for proposals is now open, deadline 16 May.

News "Flash" - problem with Flash Player Plug-in v. 9.0.124.0

If you have upgraded to version 9.0.124.0 of the Adobe Flash Player Plug-in, you probably won't be able to load the stage. Until we can work out a solution to this, we can only ask you NOT to upgrade. If you already have, you need to roll back to 9.0.115.0 - more details here.

Next Open Walk-through: September

Open walk-throughs are an opportunity for newcomers to learn about UpStage and have a hands-on guided tour of the on-stage player tools, and for regular players it's a time to meet new players and have a jam. The sessions are usually held on the first Wednesday of the month, however now that we are into the build-up to 080808 we will not be holding any open sessions because we just don't have time! Make sure you come along to the 080808 festival and check back here after that for the next open session which will be early September.

Walk-thru Join the announcements list for emiail notification of times for open walk-throughs, performances and other announcements.

To attend an open session as a "chatter" (audience member), simply follow this link at the time of the session; audience members can participate via the text chat function. You will then see and hear (turn your sound on!) what we're doing, and you can participate by typing in the chat window.

To log in and participate in the full walk-through, please and you will be sent a log-in. We also recommend that you download the manual and have a browse before the session.

Tech

UpStage is intended to be compatible with all major browsers on all major operating systems; you must have the free Flash plug-in installed (but please see this information about incompatibility with the latest version, 9.0.124.0).

Audience members on dial-up can still enjoy UpStage, however you should allow plenty of time for the stage to load. Once it has loaded, you may experience slightly more lag than broadband users, but in general you should have a similar experience.

If you are behind a firewall and get a blank screen when you try to load a stage, you need to open ports 8084 and 7230-7233.
