THE PROS AND CONS OF DIGITALIZATION IN THE PERFORMING ARTS INDUSTRY

Digitalization has complex and multifaceted pros and cons. While digital technology can enhance the theatrical experience by providing stunning visual effects and making theatre more accessible to a wider audience, some may argue that it detracts from live, in-person experiences. As some jobs may become automated or outsourced to virtual platforms, the panel will discuss the impact of digital technology on the job market and the potential to enhance the creative process, expand audience reach, and improve the sustainability of performing arts organizations.

This is an open event that welcomes remarks from all participants.

Moderated by Cosmin Chivu, Chair of The Actors Studio Drama School MFA Program, USA, and Oana Marin, Coordinator of the Sibiu Performing Arts Market, Romania.
