Distance, Disruption, and De-Hierarchisation: Negotiating Care in the Virtual Space of Zoom Theatre
Research in Drama Education, v29 n1 p24-42 2024
This article examines the creation and reception of "The Stream You Step In," a digital series co-produced by Outside the March for University of Windsor students and performed live over Zoom in 2020. While Zoom is assumed to be a care-less medium, we argue that it offers new, altered modes of caring through its disruption of boundaries and de-hierarchisation of many theatrical and training norms. Combining reflections on dramaturgy, directing, and pedagogy with empirical data on audience reception, we suggest how the lessons of pandemic performances might benefit our in-person classrooms and stages.
