Here's a nice article put out by the BBC about the rise of video in their theater productions.

In a movement that some critics are calling "technodrama" and "mixed reality", shows across the globe have been embracing the latest digital technology.
I haven't heard those terms used, but then again, I don't read much about what theater critics are saying.

However, I found this quite pertinent to many of our membership:

Dick Straker believes a new generation of video designers is waiting to burst onto the stage, and it will change things in ways we cannot yet imagine.

"Ten years ago people like myself were just dabbling in this technology, now students consciously choose to be video designers for theatre," he says.

"I see a difference in these twenty-somethings, digital technology is completely integrated into their lives, they are a different breed and their relationship to the medium is different."

The incumbent crop of video designers is already experimenting with the kind of tools this new generation will have at its disposal.
