Ready-Set-Virtual (RSV) is a multi-user virtual film-set which allows different film production department specialists to collaborate and learn through a synchronous cooperative real-time environment. RSV enables a totally inclusive film-training and filmmaking endeavour, which involves filmmakers of every flavour – both in front of and behind the (virtual) camera, and enables anyone and everyone to work together synchronously and asynchronously wherever they are in the world.

Remotely Theatrical (Real-Time) is a virtual theatre stage set which allows different theatre production departments to collaborate and learn through a synchronous cooperative real-time environment. Using low-cost performance capture technologies, RT-RT enables stage actors working remotely and at a distance to ‘project’ their performances into a fully working responsive virtual environment. Scenographers, scenic artists, costumiers, lighting designers, sound specialists, character designers and other specialists all perform their functions via a set of bespoke digital interfaces so that the totality of the performance is integrated as part of the same synchronous virtual world, offering audiences a unique live, in-the-moment and as-it-happens experience of the show. This is ‘digital’ theatre as it has never been previously experienced, and something we feel is a particularly apposite solution to the challenges of our times.

EVNE offers the opportunity to experiment with how different characters respond to different situations through emotional expression and outward behaviour. It will comprise of a set of adjustable scenarios which the student can parametrically ‘direct’ to see how the characters respond. These sequences are interactive: ‘adjustments’ can be made at critical points to affect evolving outcomes; more radically, students can zoom into the ‘body-mind’ spaces of each character to explore different theories of what may be occurring both physiologically and neurologically.

In a bold attempt to become more ‘human’, a fully working and life-like mid-21st century android travels back in time to the early part of the previous millennium to attend workshops at Konstantin Stanislavsky’s Moscow Arts Theatre Studio in order to learn and understand the master theatre-maker’s ground-breaking new acting and rehearsal techniques.
