hi dave, i'm sure you could develop/recycle/adapt something like this in UpStage - & many of our online audience members are practised hecklers : ) UpStage uses text2speech (festival) to generate voices. & there are ways to use different other interactive things with UpStage, e.g. the performance "Lines" in the 090909 festival allowed audience to draw on the stage & generate an animated design; & recently someone started looking at how they could use pd to run something from the text log that's generated by UpStage. basically you just need to have a look at it & see what you can do with it : )
we'll be having some open sessions soon, for people who are interested in learning how to use UpStage & maybe making a show for 101010 (or anything else). you can join our announcements list from the contact page on the web site (http://www.upstage.org.nz). & if you're really keen to get started, email me off list & we can make a time to meet in UpStage & i'll show you how it works. h : ) dave miller wrote: > Hi Helen > > Just looking at these brilliant projects has made me think. > > Last year I did an interactive performance project called "Buddy > Rivers" http://davemiller.org/projects/buddy_rivers/leroy/index.php > > It was a live show, taking place in a gallery, projected onto a wall. > You could interact in the gallery and simultaneously online. > > My story idea was that he's an old comedian making a comeback.
