[Ada_list] UpStage 10th Birthday Programme Announced
/== apologies for cross-posting//==/
/*
The 10th birthday of UpStage will be celebrated on 9-10 January 2014
with three performances, a symposium on remote collaboration, a planning
meeting and the launch of UpStage v3.
*/*The full programme is now online at
http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=5734*
Since 2004, artists and students around the world have collaborated via
the internet to create real-time interactive performances
(cyberformance) using the web-based platform UpStage. Annual festivals
have involved hundreds of artists and thousands of audience members, and
a strong community has developed. To celebrate ten years of UpStage,
three new performances have been created; a networked symposium -
between Wellington, Munich and other locations - will address remote
collaboration; and a planning meeting will bring together key people to
discuss possible futures for UpStage.
_*UpStage v3*_
The third version of the UpStage software will be launched at the
birthday celebrations. Incorporating full audio-visual streaming, new
features and many enhancements, v3 has been developed by Martin
Eisenbarth (Germany) and the UpStage student team at Auckland University
of Technology (New Zealand). It is a significant leap forward for the
software, not only in terms of features and usability but also in
stability and documentation.
_*Three New Cyberformances*_
Five veteran cyberformers and their collaborators are busy creating
three new works to be presented at the birthday celebrations: /Vita
Cyberformativa/by Miljana Peric', /Balloon/by Petyr Veenstra, Floris
Sirag and Gabriella Sacco, and a new work by Etheatre Project and
collaborators.
Miljana Peric' first became involved in UpStage in 2006, and has
presented work at all but one of the festivals. Her energetic and
humorous shows blend theory with politics, and always have strong audio
content, reflecting her background as a musician, ethnomusicologist and
sound artist. The trio creating /Balloon/previously presented /A Plunge
in the Pool/at the 121212 UpStage Festival and /Flat Earth/at 11:11:11.
With backgrounds in theatre, visual arts and music, the group's shows
are like audiovisual poetry, gradually unfolding stories through rich
imagery and haunting text. Etheatre director and theatre researcher
Christina Papagiannouli explores and discusses political issues through
cyberformance. Previous work has addressed the Egyptian revolution (/The
Cyberian Chalk Circle, /2011) and the Greek crisis (/Merry Crisis and a
Happy New Fear/, 2012). For this new work, she has gathered an
international group to develop a performance that uses internal European
migration as a starting point.
_*The Networked Symposium*_
An online symposium addressing the topic of remote collaboration in
cyberformance and networked performance will accompany the performances.
Hosted by Signalraum (Munich) with guest speaker Annie Abrahams, the
symposium aims to provide a space for reflection, discussion, and
analysis. Audiences will be able to participate online as well as at the
venues in Munich and Wellington. Remote presentations will be given by
Isabel Valverde (Portugal) and Christina Papagiannouli (London).
_*The Planning Meeting*_
A meeting in Wellington and online will discuss the current situation of
UpStage and plan for its sustainable future in an increasingly difficult
economic climate.
*Surprise us with a birthday present for UpStage!*

deductible!)/

ANAT is calling for applications from artists and scientists/researchers

to establish contact and to identify the nature of the proposed
collaboration prior to application. Those with existing relationships are
