The schedule of performances during the 121212 UpStage Festival of Cyberformance has now been announced!
This year the festival is in two parts, so there are two separate schedules:
- “Walking backwards into the future”, 5-11 December: a programme of 17 remounted cyberformances from the past five festivals. Follow this link to the schedule and time converters
- “Testing – 1 2, 1 2, 1 2″, 12 December: new works in UpStage and other networked platforms. This link takes you to the schedule and time converters.
Dan James (known online as Dan Untitled), who has been involved with UpStage since 2005 as a performer and curator, said that UpStage “… is a platform that enables people from all sorts of cultural backgrounds to easily interact with one another in real-time and share ideas, approaches and stories. People from all sorts of artistic backgrounds have found their way there – visual artists, theatre people, musicians, DJs, VJs and animators.”
Dan described UpStage as a blank stage and said that new audience members should “expect the unexpected!”
