Icinema experience
i just think that this weeks excursion (or incursion..) to icinema has really opened my eyes to what Bryoni has been trying to hammer into our heads for 6 weeks now. that media doesn't have to go against performance but it can more fully immerse you into it. the wooster group performance for example (especially in 3d) really made you feel like the group members were talking to you directly. as though they knew where you were in the room. i especially enjoyed the t-visunarium and also the dance performance filmed at nida. this performance was especially fascinating because it gave you the opportunity to see it from 6 different angles. when would you have the opportunity to see what a performance looks like from multiple perspectives in the 'live' experience of theatre? performance can be mediatised in order to more fully convey the thoughts and ideas of the performance piece, it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. panaramic camera also enables us to see more fully everything that happens at the one time. in conclusion i guess, i really enjoyed this experience.. it was fascinating, sometimes dizzying, and very productive!
