[Ada_list] UpStage 10th Birthday! 9-10 January 2014 (Wellington, Munich & Online)

Happy new year :)

The auspicious 10th birthday of UpStage is this coming week!
Dedicated UpStagers are busy with final preparations for the launch of UpStage v3, three performances, the networked symposium, and a planning meeting that will take place over two days on 9-10 January.

The performances are:
Vita cyberformativa by Miljana Peric
Balloon by Petyr Veenstra, Floris Sirag and Gabriella Sacco
Etheatre Project and Collaborators.
Information about the performances and presentations is available here; the full programme, with time converters, is here. There will be live links from the programme to the stages on the day.

The networked symposium takes place online and at Signalraum in Munich, and at 19 Tory Street in Wellington, with presentations by Annie Abrahams, Isabel Valverde and Christina Papagiannouli. There will be live links to the presentations from the programme page. Thanks very much to Horst Konietzny and his team at Signalraum for hosting the symposium.

We would also like to thank MAD emergent art centre in Eindhoven for streaming support, AUT for the student programmer team, and CityLink for their ongoing hosting of the UpStage server.

And of course big thank yous to those who have donated! If you haven't yet, it's not too late to surprise us with a birthday gift to UpStage - show your support and appreciation for 10 years of fun and experimental cyberformance in UpStage!

We look forward to seeing you all at the celebrations!
