Remote Theater, a pioneering online performance group born one year ago this month, has relaunched and reincorporated as an online film company to better serve its stakeholders – artists, audiences, and benefactors. As Remote Studios, it will continue innovating in a new medium it calls “live global cinema” which combines the excitement of live theatrical performance and cinematic storytelling elements afforded by the new medium.
Live, online, geographically distributed artists and audiences
Following the successful online production of Anthony Clarvoe’s The Art of Sacrifice and an online reading of Lynne Kaufman’s Magician’s Choice, the company also announced the remainder of its 2021 season with a strong focus on dramatic works it believes lend themselves to uniquely rewarding experiences live, online, and with artists working from different locations.
