Ready, Set? Adventures in Digital Landscapes

‘Somehow, and life is strange in the way it springs things upon you unexpectedly, I have found myself at the forefront of digital explorations in design for performance.  In the last twelve months I have designed Madame Butterfly for Opera Australia, the first fully fledged digital design for opera in Australia, UAE48 National Day Celebrations in Abu Dhabi, parts of World Expo in Dubai, and the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra’s Christmas season – Noël Noël at the Angel Place Recital Hall. All of these works embrace digital technology, which in turn I am incorporating into my research as Professor of Practice, UNSW Art and Design.  Digital Landscapes are a part of our future, and my interest is how to enfold this technology to enhance performance. Not always as easy as you might think…’

For the past three decades Michael Scott-Mitchell has been a formidable force within the performing arts making a major contribution both within Australia and internationally. He has designed the sets for an impressive number of highly acclaimed productions.
