Future Stages
Theatre arts x Tech
In collaboration with Innovation:Lab by Theater Utrecht
Future Stages is the name of a series of talk shows initiated by Ulrike Quade Company in collaboration with Innovation:Lab from Theater Utrecht, where the collaboration between theatre and new technologies takes center stage. Experts in both subject matters present their work, process, and the journey they took to get there. Knowledge, craft and insights are bundled into conversation and questioned, to further examine the intersection between theatre and technology.
In all talk shows there’s one central question that is probed, always from a different angle: How can theatre arts and technology work together in an innovative way?
Exploring creativity in the age of AI
Ever wondered about the impact of AI on the world of performing arts? Curious to explore its role in sparking creativity? And willing to dive deeper into AI than the couple of Big Tech programmes such as Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT? If so, join us for the upcoming Future Stages event hosted at Frascati.
In an era where AI is marketed as redefining the boundaries of creativity and arts, it is important to understand its impact on the performing arts. The Future Stages event, organised by Ulrike Quade Company and Innovation:Lab, provides a platform to analyse, discuss and envision the future of creativity in a partially/hybrid digitally driven world. We explore whether it is possible to become an AI cyborg in the performing arts field, and what artistic, societal and ethical questions we should take into consideration when morphing into that creature.
Does AI enhance or hinder creativity?
This event will bring together industry experts to explore the impact of AI on creativity. Through engaging discussions and insightful presentations, we aim to address the fundamental question: Does AI enhance or hinder creativity?
Diverse audience
Future Stages welcomes all curious minds passionate about the evolving relationship between technology and the arts. Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a budding artist, a tech enthusiast, or simply someone intrigued by the fusion of creativity and innovation, this event is for you.
We believe it’s essential that everyone attends to bridge the gap between experts and newcomers. This inclusive environment encourages collaboration and allows everyone to contribute and learn, regardless of background or expertise.
