| I agree about both video and Zoom as a subset or whatever of it, and any technology for that matter. To me, the introduction of video into live performance is not a new or controversial thing at all. The Wooster Group has been playing around with live and recorded video since before I started going down to see their work (and that's a long long time ago). It has slowly entered the mainstream, with greater or lesser resistance along the way, but I think you are right that the pandemic has likely made it more palatable to some. (To an extent it is a generational resistance I think, and in that sense the centrality of zoom especially as a lifeline for many older generations this past year is going to have a lasting effect. I think.) |
