Abstract

This article considers recent instances of theatre on and through the Internet, to examine relations between the two media. It considers ‘transmediation’ as a process whereby characteristics of one medium are conveyed or refunctioned in another. It addresses the specific mediality of the theatre and the Internet, to assess ways in which space and time are extruded in the latter. In particular, the article considers the matter of temporality, observing that the Internet both complicates and extends performance’s characteristic dealings with liveness and presence. It examines performances by companies including New Paradise Laboratories, elastic future, the Hamnet Players, Station House Opera and Forced Entertainment, along with the phenomenon of live-streamed theatre, to argue for the importance of a distributed present as a feature of online performance transactions.
