How the LIVESTREAM project came to be:
When Dr. Menaka Thakkar accepted her GOVERNOR GENERAL’S AWARD FOR LIFE TIME ACHIEVEMENT IN DANCE in 2013, she pledged to continue to make her art ever more accessible and affordable by streaming live or encore performances over the internet to multiple distant locations nationally and internationally. Thanks to an Ontario Trillium Grant her vision has become reality. Our new technology can now deliver ground-breaking choreographic works, workshops, artist talks and performances not only to large urban centres, but also to small towns, culturally underserved areas and local neighbourhoods through a chain of appropriately equipped venues including theatres, film centres, public libraries, community centres, universities and colleges. Alternatively we can also bring our events right into the comfort and privacy of one’s own home through laptop computers, tablets and other mobile devices. In addition, internet streaming makes it possible to deliver these works of high art at far lower prices than their primary stage productions just as live streamed shows from the Metropolitan Opera or The National Theatre have done in movie houses.
