The 080808 UpStage Festival has been reviewed by Bree Hadley for Australian Stage Online:
What was most engaging about the cyberformance experience was the sense of the performances forming in the very moment of the encounter, and the sense that spectators participated in this encounter. In each performance, a chat panel to the side of the stage was populated by spectator commentary – all the questions, asides, smart-aleck remarks and sudden revelations that drove the dramatic tension of the stories, slideshows and performances becoming an interactive conversation with a sense of community, and shared creativity.
