Live streaming has come a long way since the pandemic hit. While it was once seen as a low-cost substitute for live performances, it has now become a vital part of the performing arts world. And the best part? It’s only getting better.
As live performances slowly make their return, theaters and venues are finding new ways to incorporate live streaming into their shows. The Apollo Theatre in New York, for example, has created a new virtual stage that allows them to host everything from amateur nights to major musical events.
Meanwhile, the National Theatre in London has been using their “NT at Home” platform to stream plays to millions of viewers around the world. And with plays like “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “Anthony & Cleopatra” already lined up for the rest of the year, it’s clear that streaming is here to stay.
But what does it take to become a streamer yourself? According to director and photographer David Joshua Ford, it’s all about assessing your skills and level of gear. And with the right equipment, like a switcher to bring different sources into your program, you can create a professional-looking stream that will keep your audience engaged.
So whether you’re a theater looking to expand your reach or a video producer looking to add streaming to your skillset, there’s never been a better time to get involved in the world of live streaming.
