In recent years, live-streamed theatre broadcasts have emerged as a
significant cultural phenomenon, aiding public access to - and
representing a new practice for - key international, national and
regional institutions, such as the National Theatre, the Royal
Shakespeare Company, Pilot Theatre, Forced Entertainment, and cinema
distributors around the world. How do such broadcasts change the
experience of live events, and how do they alter the spectrum of media
through which performances occur? This emerging hybrid medium introduces
challenges for practitioners, critics and institutions for the creation,
reception and funding of live theatre and events, yet suitable
approaches to frame academic discussion of it are underdeveloped.

This symposium seeks to explore the rise of live theatre broadcast
through questions engaging with a) production processes, b) audiences
and c) intermediality.
