Curve reinvents Theatre In The Round with the world’s first 360° theatre recording

LONDON - July 14, 2015 - PRLog -- Curve, one of the UK’s most technologically advanced theatres, is harnessing the very latest technology by releasing a 360° panoramic performance of the hit musical Calamity Jane in a bid to make first class theatre accessible to all, a world first and true technological breakthrough.

Starring Jodie Prenger and featuring Tom Lister, the 360° recording of Nikolai Foster’s Calamity Jane will be available to view for free at360.curveonline.co.uk from the 22nd to the 24th July via tablet or computer. In addition, The Guardian newspaper website will host the performance from 10am on 22nd July 2015. This revolutionary new technology allows audience members to choose what they see and from where from the comfort of their own home.

360° panoramic video is a major new innovation set to take the world by storm. Whilst 360° panoramic photography enables the subject to experience a location as if they are there, 360° video enhances this experience, immersing the viewer entirely as if transporting their armchair to the front row of the theatre.

The commercial impact of the technology is also not insignificant. Curve’s Commercial Director Alister de Ternant commented “Enhanced engagement in corporate conferences, brought about by broadcasting live in 360° would be of major benefit in today’s global business economy. This amazing new technology will enable colleagues and potential prospects to come together in real time, despite the actual distance between them. We’re incredibly excited that Curve is at the forefront of this invaluable new business tool and able to offer it to our clients.”

“The benefits of using this technology and being the first theatre in the world to use it could be enormous,” adds Alister “not only in technological advancement but in terms of what it actually enables by making theatre truly accessible to all.”
