 h1><p style="text-align: left\;">A Contemporary Response to August Strindbe
 rg’s <em>A Dream Play</em> by UBC’s Graduating Acting Class<br />Directed b
 y <a href="https://theatrefilm.ubc.ca/profile/tom-scholte/">Professor Tom S
 cholte</a></p><p>Digital Dream Play is a response to Swedish playwright Aug
 ust Strindberg’s A Dream Play first performed in Stockholm in 1907. In the 
 play's description characters “split\, double\, multiply\, evaporate\, cond
 ense\, dissolve and merge”\, provoking us to experiment with the potential 
 of off-the-shelf streaming technologies to co-locate actors virtually whose
  physical proximity is constrained due to social distancing during a pandem
 ic. In our mixed reality experience\, live actors surrounded by walls of gr
 een screens on a theatre stage transport audiences to dream-like virtual en
 vironments. This production is an innovative proposition to the question: “
 How can technology support theatre-making during a pandemic and how might t
 his influence future audience experiences?” Early and persistent experiment
 ation in the theatre space with cameras\, lighting\, open source software\,
  virtual scenes\, keyframing\, sound and operation enhance/extend a typical
  theatrical production process. “Everything can happen\; everything is poss
 ible and likely.”</p><p>[accordions collapsible=true active=false][accordio
 n title="Director's message"]Surrealistic digital scenography and actor-dri
 ven adaptation/(re)creation close the pandemic-driven distance between us i
 n this dynamic live-stream experiment. Join us as we wrestle with the seemi
 ng inevitability of human suffering at a moment when an “existential shrug”
  is a luxury we cannot afford.[/accordion][accordion title="Department Head
 's message"]If there were ever a time to produce a play that is structured 
 like a dream\, a year into a pandemic seems perfectly fitting. Since March 
 of 2020\, our department has transitioned with the rest of the world into a
 n on-line version of itself. The creativity of my colleagues at delivering 
 our curricular content through the many platforms available has been stagge
 ring – some on-line\, some interactive\, some hybrid\, some synchronous\, s
 ome asynchronous\, some in-person. The Digital Dream Play is a unique examp
 le of the creative collaboration that is the trademark of our department. T
 hanks for participating in this experiment. Please enjoy this exploration i
 nto the liminal space between the live and the digital.[/accordion][/accord
