Dr Sarah Atkinson, our Senior Lecturer in Digital Cultures, was one of the consultants for a new report: “From Live-To-Digital: Understanding the Impact of Digital Developments in Theatre on Audiences, Production and Distribution.”

Dr Atkinson was, of course, the organiser of our own successful live cinema conference and event in May this year –the first national discussion of this increasingly popular way of engaging with the arts in the UK (see the CMCI Blog for April 26, 2016).

The report was driven by the Arts Council England, the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) and UK Theatre, who  are actively interested in the opportunities and questions that ‘Live-to-Digital’ – the combination of event cinema, streaming and downloading online, and television broadcast – presents across the full range of arts and cultural forms.
