Masters of the Stage

At its 2003 Symposium, SDCF hosted a panel moderated by Arthur Bartowand featuring playwright Steve Drukman, director Fritz Ertl, producer Chris Jaehnig, tech designer Tom Igoe, and stage manager Megan Bezdek. The discussion centers on the role of digital media in the developmental and production process on a commissioned play by Steve Druckman for the NYU Undergraduate Mainstage titled Youth in Asia. Topics covered the genesis of the project, the development process for a digital media heavy production, editing film to play simultaneously with live performance, production equipment, build, and management. This conversation provides an informative exploration into the intersection of theatre and digital media.
