VIDEOS: Australian Theatres Partner With Google Creatives Labs to Create Three Interactive Digital Productions
By: Stephi Wild Jul. 01, 2020
Australian Theatres have partnered with Google Creative Labs to created Theatre Made For the Internet.
The first piece, Thirsty!, was created by Griffin Theatre Company. The interactive techno-noir detective thriller requires audience members to look for clues to assist the actors. The production utilized a Chrome extension called #Poll, which asked viewers to participate in the action.
The performance was streamed alongside other interactive works from The Last Great Hunt and Sandpit.
The Last Great Hunt's show turned a living room into a live production space, including cardboard props and wall-mounted projection in Bad Baby Jean. Sandpit responded directly to audience comments during A Highly Filtered Picture of Dorian Gray.
The productions were streamed across three nights in May, but can still be watched below!
