The Performing Arts x Tech Conference-Unconference is organised by the National Arts Council in collaboration with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, and is a two-part symposium for practitioners interested in the possibilities, opportunities, and frictions between performing arts and various technologies.
At the morning Conference, hear and learn from experienced international and local performance-makers and creative technologists who have been developing and exploring different entry points into performance and technology, such as Toby Coffey (National Theatre Immersive Storytelling Studio, United Kingdom), Clarence Ng and Mitsuru Tokisato (Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media, Japan), Danny Yung (Zuni Icosahedron, Hong Kong), artist Ho Tzu Nyen, and more.
After the lunch break, join us for the Unconference, with a host of breakout sessions in the form of artist presentations, demos, and group discussions. The Unconference will be a friendly space for practitioners from the arts, design, and technology sectors to exchange and share ideas and to meet potential new collaborators. In addition to featured sessions by participants and panellists of the Performing Arts x Tech Lab, Unconference attendees can also submit other Arts x Tech topics for discussion on the event day.
Note on accessibility: This event is held in a wheelchair-accessible venue. Live speech-to-text interpretation (STTI) will be available during the Conference. Some access arrangements such as STTI and Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) interpretation will also be available for the Unconference upon request, subject to availability.
