The European Theatre Convention has set “Theatre in the digital age” as one of its pillars for the years to come. By researching and experimenting with digital technologies, the goal is to enhance the theatrical live experience as well as to offer a meaningful reflection of its possibilities and boundaries.
The Digital Theatre Programme offers support for innovative digital theatre projects by ETC Member Theatres and fosters international digital community building and outreach. The programme encourages ETC Member Theatres to experiment in the digital theatre field either by developing a new artistic production or researching and implementing new digital solutions for theatre productions or working processes. Digital theatre projects will be showcased on ETC’s website for further international promotion.

Digital Theatre. A Casebook

A Casebook is about sharing knowledge with the creative community; it is an invitation for artists, scientists, theatre professionals, and cultural and societal decision makers to learn from our experiences. Attached, the white paper Drama goes digital vs Theatre invades digital presents recommendations that have been identified for publicly funded theatres, policymakers and funders on the local, national and European level to tackle challenges for theatres while addressing the digital transformation.
