Location

The third gathering of the Atelier was planned in partnership with FoldA to integrate with this year’s program. With FoldA going fully online due to COVID19, so goes the Toasterlab AGM. In this hour-long session, the MRPA Advisory Board will share updates to recent projects, and talk about the opportunities and challenges faced by engaging in the necessary adaptation to the current realities of producing performance when we can’t gather. 

Projects included:

• The use of accessible motion capture for Oh, What a Lovely War at Hart House
• Update to the TailOff project with Swim Pony Performing Arts
• What happens when you can’t get there: Parkway Forest 2 and The Right Way with DLT
• Work on I.F. : Indigenous Futurities : Dancing Earth in CyberSpace

This session will also introduce Toasterlab’s Mixed Reality Performance Hackathon (tMoRPH), June 13 – 19, which will focus on questions surrounding the delivery of immersive performance content in remote and low-bandwidth conditions and will include a live presentation of I.F. : Indigenous Futurities : Dancing Earth in CyberSpace on June 18. 

Final Projects Presented:

• Haunts – Presented by Liz Fisher and TJ Young
• Future Histories – Presented by Jacob Zimmer
• Holodeck Hamlet – Presented by Lacey Erb, Jesse Freedman, and Michaela Pnacekova
