“The UpStage Situation: Mobilised!” is the title of a talk to be given by Helen Varley Jamieson, online, for the Tajrobeh Theatre Festival on Monday 28 February 2022. The talk is at 18:30 CET.

Helen will introduce the new UpStage platform and speak about two projects: We have a situation! (2013-16) and Mobilise/Demobilise (2020-current). Both projects use UpStage to devise and present hybrid online/offline performances that facilitate participatory networked conversions around contemporary issues such as climate change, water pollution and e-waste.
