GREEN BIRD AND TRANSMEDIA PERFORMANCE
This is a post production book that looks at gadgets as well as stories we can tell with gadgets...as well as the most advanced tech gadget ever created: the human body. The body moves, shed symbols, and creates neural, empathetic reaction in audience members called 'mirror neurons'. They were discovered like a new solar system in the seventies. Within this old script by Gozzi (reinvested like an inert computer program from the printed page to the young body) we find a playground of shifting symbols. Why not amplify and enhance these 'masks' with projected, interactive, and audio media? This is the essence of transmedia: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This project started with a lot of talking and ended in a lot of listening. So here is to old skool architectural context to storytelling: the theater. Transmedia is nothing new.
