Research and Discovery is a new open research initiative to develop innovative online collaboration and remote performance. R&D artists will experiment with collaborative technologies, devise new ways to present performance, and share insights into ways to imbue online platforms with qualities that make live performance compelling and important. Its purpose is to discover and share the skills performance artists need to work together and reach audiences when traditional gathering is too dangerous or who face physical and economic barriers to attending live performance.
Each cohort will culminate in a free, public showing of work showcasing the results of these experiments.
