Description<\/strong>: “At the University at Buffalo, the Intermedia Performance Studio (IPS) produced a Week 24 – 7 plays from Parks\u2019 365 Days\/365 Plays, from April 23-April 29. Following Parks\u2019 interest in theatre as the means to reflect upon the process of dramatic writing, the collaborators of the IPS – including computer scientists, designers, actors, and programmers – approached a week\u2019s worth of plays as a similar reflection upon notions of \u201cwriting\u201d and acting in virtual and mediated contexts. Specifically, we addressed performances to the question of artificial intelligence in performance and the effect of computer-based agents as actors. Amid recent theories of cyborg theatre and posthuman performance, we believe these explorations of mediated agency in performance can open up new forms of engagement for live performance.” Sarah Bay-Cheng<\/p>\n Collaborators<\/strong>: Sarah Bay-Cheng, Dave Pape, Josephine Anstey and many others (sorry I am missing documentation)<\/p>\n Shows<\/strong>: 365 plays\/days 2007: an intermedia performance. Part of the Suzan-Lori Parks play cycle. <\/p>\n
\n365 Days\/365 Plays was the result of Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright, Suzan-Lori Parks decision to write a play a day for a year.
