“Sensory and immersive theater practices in digital context” was a challenging project accompanied by a lot of artistic discoveries, opportunities and important meetings with our audience and partners. We started with the intention of adapting the sensory theater to a digital medium, but we managed to create an entirely new genre. The five sensory online performances developed five different esthetic languages, as well as five different approaches towards our audience and the inclusion of the senses in this extraordinary interaction.
The presence of sensory and immersive theatrical forms in a digital context opened up to us its advantages: To meet people who, for various physical, social and geographical reasons, so far did not have access to these arts, as well as to launch an international network of partnerships that will allow us to exchange experience, share audiences and implement theatrical initiatives. The online sensory theater has its advantages, as well as challenges. It will not displace physical performances, but it has a lot to offer to artists, organizations and audiences around the world. The innovations and technological solutions open up a field of infinite potential in which we are about to find ways to preserve the connection with the intimate experience of the human encounter.
Conclusions
We are happy to develop partnerships with amazing Bulgarian and foreign organizations with which we share searches, questions, solutions and visions for common ventures and projects.
