A lot of performance content that looks live is actually pre-recorded. This might be as little as a few minutes or as much as several weeks in advance, but that buffer offers control. While deciding to share your work live involves taking risks, those risks can give a performance authenticity and energy.
In this webinar we consider what impact being truly live will have on your planning, your production, and the performance. We’ll identify the questions that’ll decide whether a live stream is best for your work, and how to be successful if you go for it.
