A selection of free and paid apps for use in stage and theatre designs. Especially useful for lighting designers and technicians is the portable gel book. Very cool!
I visit Playbill daily. It is like the New York Times for all things happening in theatre, particularly in NYC. Now that I no longer live there, this helps me stay current on my business.
I love the integration of technology with theater and dance. Liz Lerman in her Genome Project for Dance Exchange integrated dancers with projected images...it was very effective.
I do too. The interaction between the live and the pre-determined is very interesting to me. It also creates an interesting depth to the performance space.
Thomas Cott is the director of marketing for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. "You've Cott Mail" is a fabulous weekday email for arts enthusiasts, managers, administrators, or artists. He picks a different topic everyday and scours the web for interesting/good/useful blogs, articles, etc, compiles them into one email with several links, and delivers it to your inbox. I can't recommend "You've Cott Mail" enough.
I know! :) This company has been around for a while too. I am always mentioning them but no one seems to have heard of them. I think the interaction with the 3-d projection is so amazing.
