With technology at their fingertips, answers and images can be conjured by theatre makers immediately during the rehearsal or devising process, sound can be fed directly into the ears of the audiences in pieces such as Small Metal Objects or Judith Adams' Ghost or Clickwind. Technology allows us to watch simultaneous performances taking place in London and Rio de Janeiro in the case of Station House Opera's What's Wrong With The World and it allows students with little more than a Mac at their disposal to make multimedia performances. Even small shows, such as Confessions of a Dancewhore at Oval House or Wish I Had a Sylvia Plath, which is at the Ustinov in Bath later this week, play with multimedia with real confidence and élan. Computers and other technologies have transformed our every day lives and they have become a crucial part of the way theatre is made, and our theatre-going lives too. In July some of the multimedia techniques explored in Waves will be further developed by Fifty Nine for Mitchell's latest piece...some trace of her, inspired by Dostoevsky's The Idiot.

The world of theatre lighting is constantly evolving, with new technologies emerging that promise to transform stage design and production quality. Smart lighting systems are at the forefront of theatre lighting innovation. These systems offer unprecedented control and flexibility, allowing lighting designers to program complex lighting sequences with ease. LED technology has been revolutionizing the lighting industry for years, and its impact on theatre lighting is profound. Energy-efficient LEDs not only reduce power consumption but also offer a wider spectrum of colours and longer lifespan than traditional lighting. Advanced lighting control systems allow for precise manipulation of lighting elements, enabling designers to create intricate designs and effects. The integration of these new technologies is set to revolutionize stage design. With smart lighting and advanced controls, designers can experiment with innovative concepts, transforming traditional stage setups into dynamic, interactive experiences.
