The rapid advancement of technology continues to offer storytellers a broad range of new tools and media to express their ideas and share their visions. However, our main purpose as theatre artists will not change. Designers will simply do what we have always done: use the tools of our time to tell stories, create immersive theatrical worlds, and develop connections between people.
We hope the foundations we have offered here help you on your journey.
