Wireless performance anywhere, transmitting everywhere

The performers act, sing, and dance, as they would anyway. They also wear tiny wireless microphones, cameras, and lights, with the whole audience experience being an extension of what the performers perceive and reveal in their interactions.

Because it's all worn, wireless, and mobile, the whole world truly becomes their stage. They can take their performance anywhere. The cameras could be recording for a subequent video, or linked to a displays in the performance itself, whether mounted on a stage, on a large wall, or on the side of the van they arrived in.

Imagine this as street performance, beyond theatre. Political commentary that goes to the people, wherever they are. Or choreographed to interact with a pristine forest. After the performance, leaving not a trace. Performing anywhere, transmitting everywhere.

This vision was inspired by a performance by Lisa Kraus of the Swarthmore College dance faculty. Please add your inspirations and comments!
