Re: RAT theatre happens in space & time and out of space & time with audience

[Cat Hebert <virtualdrama@juno.com>]

Ahhh, but you see. They're never going to *be* in your room to experience that unless you lure them in. And ... my few years as a theater critic taught me that as often as not the energy that is transmitted in that live space isn't real, but mannered, false, or self-absorbed.  Before privacy concerns online became an issue, it was possible to access webcams of a couple of pre-schools. Now *there's* energy. There's theater!!

 

Cheers,

agreement with narver et al: theatre needs people in the room breathing the
same air. there is an energetic exchange that will never ever be possible in
a virtual room, thank god! unusual and rarified exchanges happens in the
breathing together, moments shared or experienced that I cannot put words to,
maybe, oh - a divine normal. a bigger humaness.
this dell screen patterns itself more like my tv - it can only exchange only
so much energy and only certain types of energy.
