Artificial intelligence and natural stupidity
Balancing light across multiple realities
The increasing adoption of extended reality technologies within theatre and performance complicates our understanding and creation of scenography. As designers seeking to create spaces within the blurred boundaries between “real” and “virtual”, we must simultaneously consider a complex set of perspectives on and through which our work is experienced. This paper interrogates the role of light within mixed reality (MR) performance to understand how…
Scaling Australian intermedial theatre
Australian intermedial theatre is facing mounting pressure to adapt to complex geographical challenges posed by the country’s size while simultaneously responding to the global climate crisis. Ongoing research between Australian theatre makers and academics seeks to address these manifold concerns, combining qualitative and practice-led approaches in an effort to produce a new framework to support the creation of sustainable, tourable intermedial…
Dark Mountain
Weaving together the collective experience of several Australian scenographers and dramaturgs, this article examines how performance-making practices and scenographic design processes can be reshaped by our deepening understanding of the ecology that surrounds us. As practitioner-scholars, we are trying to consider how new ‘practice actions’ in scenography can be increasingly ecologically responsive. This is a very particular endeavour in Austral…

As the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space 2019 ( PQ19 ) drew to a close, Australian designers, researchers and educators gathered to discuss the impact of PQ on our scenographic communities while querying the evolutions and challenges facing design practice. Australia’s vast geography made this event a unique opportunity to bring together leading experts from multiple states and capture contemporary perspectives. At the midpoint b…
