Transforming Theater | Stichting Story Based Media

Stichting Story Based Media, in collaboration with the HKU and Tryater theatre company, is organizing a symposium on transmedia in relation to the performing arts. The symposium focuses on students and professionals in the theatre world and e-culture, and the organizers seek to provide an overview of the most recent developments and new opportunities in the future. The aim is to foster the development and exchange of knowledge among makers. The programme includes presentations, workshops and the realization of pilot versions of two transmedia performances. The programme pinpoints the creation process and the generation of a vision, and also reflects on the thinking behind transmedial processes. In addition to the symposium, Stichting Story Based Media is launching a website to introduce the programme. After the symposium, this website will be regularly updated with new content thereby creating a new transmedial information platform.
