Session Description

In March of 2007, Bradley University developed a unique theatrical performance that pushed the technical, conceptual and aesthetic constructs of digital storytelling. The Adding Machine project is an innovative interdisciplinary, inter-institutional collaboration that joined students, faculty, and staff from the Department of Theatre Arts and the Multimedia Program at Bradley University with students, faculty, and staff from the University of Waterloo (Canada) and the University of Central Florida (USA) to collaboratively develop, rehearse, and present a fully mediatized production (integrating virtual scenery, broadcast video via Internet 2, recorded video, avatar performers, photographs, graphics and sound) of Elmer Rice’s expressionistic play. The session will present the technology behind the performance (I2 delivery, DVTS, digitization, visualization), the collaborative nature of the project, and present new multipoint performances that are planned for 2008.
