Project Scope:

1. Concept Development: Collaborate with artists, technologists, and performers to brainstorm and develop performance concepts that integrate digital elements while exploring themes like childhood play and other relevant concepts.

2. Experimentation: Utilize the digital studio to prototype and test out different performance ideas, leveraging digital tools and technologies to enhance storytelling, audience interaction, and overall immersive experiences.

3. Iterative Process: Embrace an iterative approach to development, continually refining and evolving performance ideas based on experimentation, feedback, and reflection, ensuring that thematic elements are effectively integrated and resonate with audiences.

4. Documentation: Document the creative process and outcomes of each performance exploration in the digital studio, capturing insights, challenges, and successes for future reference and dissemination.

Examples of Performance Ideas:

1. Digital Puppetry: Experiment with digital puppetry techniques to create interactive characters and narratives that evoke the whimsy and imagination of childhood play, allowing audiences to engage with virtual worlds and characters in real-time.
