Documenting and archiving theatre in the digital age
Panellists include representatives from the Theatre Collections (V&A), National Theatre Archive, Royal Opera House New Media Department, Musicians’ Union and arts & media lawyer Sean Egan. The panel will address the range of digital forms of documentation and their related costs; the growing interest in streaming performances online and the use of podcasts and clips; and issues of intellectual property and copyright.
Theatre practitioners on documenting practices
Panellists include Rae Smith (designer), Mervyn Millar (associate director/writer), Gareth Fry (sound designer), Sven Ortel (video designer and co-director of mesmer) and David Harradine (designer/director).
