디지털 미디어를 활용한 관객참여 공연극 구현

Abstract

Background Recently, various dramatic performances have been produced using digital technology. In particular, the use of digital media as an independent component of the performance enables a new concert format that was not possible within the limits of decorating the concert stage. Methods This paper proposes an audience participatory dramatic performance by utilizing digital technology . We introduce a variety of techniques that allow the audience to directly participate in the show, and explore the possibilities for the expansion of existing productions by making a new performance using the proposed techniques. Result The audience character is created with the audience's face image and it is used as a digital actor that plays together with the real actors during the performance. Audience interactive video is one of the visual components used to design the stage environment. It is controlled with the information derived from the audience’s participation. Through the proposed system, audiences can express their commitments and participate in the control of the story flow. Conclusion In this paper, we proposed an audience-participatory dramatic performance where audiences can participate as a character and interact. By developing the test-bed performance called Bang-Ja-Jeon, we examined how our proposed techniques can be used in making real-world performance. We also derived a wide range of possibilities and the potential-problems.
