The project is a collaboration between Dante or Die (theatre company), Marmelo Digital (technology company) and the centre for death and society at the University of Bath.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the project, theatre company Dante or Die have teamed up with Marmelo Digital to devise <em>User Not Found<\/em>, a performance that uses social media to explore the impact personal digital devices has on our grieving process. The audience will participate in the live performance via mobile phones and headphones, as they follow a character\u2019s experience of bereavement.<\/p>\n<p>This one-day symposium aims to explore ideas connected to social media in theatre. We particularly welcome attendees interested in taking part in conversations on issues of liveness, the impact of social media technologies on performance and space and its future potential for technological intermediality and immersivity. It will also address questions around digital legacies, virtual memorialisation, and the impact of social media on the grieving process.\u00a0 The format of the day includes practitioner presentations, panel discussions and a keynote paper that looks at the use of headphones in theatre. The event includes a special evening performance of <em>User Not Found <\/em>(90 minutes) at South Street Arts Centre, followed by a discussion led by theatre company, Dante or Die and Lib Taylor. Wine and canap\u00e9s will be served upon arrival at the theatre from 6pm.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>To sign up for this FREE event please email Lucy Jeffery via <\/strong><\/span><a href=\"mailto:lucy.jeffery@reading.ac.uk\"><strong>lucy.jeffery@reading.ac.uk<\/strong><\/a><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong> and specify whether you require tickets for the performance as well as the symposium.
