LivePerformance360 also has industry facing components that include archiving performance for touring companies, interested presenters and invested academics. If you have or know of a production interested in exploring the use of 360 audio/visual capture in live performance, we encourage you to reach out to Carey Dodge: [email protected]

Finally, LivePerformance360 contemplates the use of immersive technology as a tool for accessibility aimed at audiences in isolated communities and individuals with mobility issues that prevent them from attending a performance in person.

In addition to the online digital experience of LivePerformance360, we’ve set up the Fishbowl as an education and demonstration centre on Granville Island.
