> Since 2004, artists and students around the world have collaborated via the

> UpStage v3
> The third version of the UpStage software will be launched at the birthday 
> celebrations. Incorporating full audio-visual streaming, new features and 
> many enhancements, v3 has been developed by Martin Eisenbarth (Germany) and 
> the UpStage student team at Auckland University of Technology (New Zealand). 
> It is a significant leap forward for the software, not only in terms of 
> features and usability but also in stability and documentation.
> Three New Cyberformances
> Five veteran cyberformers and their collaborators are busy creating three new 
> works to be presented at the birthday celebrations: Vita Cyberformativa by 
> Miljana Perić, Balloon by Petyr Veenstra, Floris Sirag and Gabriella Sacco, 
> and a new work by Etheatre Project and collaborators.
> Miljana Perić first became involved in UpStage in 2006, and has presented 
> work at all but one of the festivals. Her energetic and humorous shows blend 
> theory with politics, and always have strong audio content, reflecting her 
> background as a musician, ethnomusicologist and sound artist. The trio 
> creating Balloon previously presented A Plunge in the Pool at the 121212 
> UpStage Festival and Flat Earth at 11:11:11. With backgrounds in theatre, 
> visual arts and music, the group's shows are like audiovisual poetry, 
> gradually unfolding stories through rich imagery and haunting text. Etheatre 
> director and theatre researcher Christina Papagiannouli explores and 
> discusses political issues through cyberformance. Previous work has addressed 
> the Egyptian revolution (The Cyberian Chalk Circle, 2011) and the Greek 
> crisis (Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear, 2012). For this new work, she has 
> gathered an international group to develop a performance that uses internal 
> European migration as a starting point.
> The Networked Symposium
> An online symposium addressing the topic of remote collaboration in 
> cyberformance and networked performance will accompany the performances. 
> Hosted by Signalraum (Munich) with guest speaker Annie Abrahams, the 
> symposium aims to provide a space for reflection, discussion, and analysis. 
> Audiences will be able to participate online as well as at the venues in 
> Munich and Wellington. Remote presentations will be given by Isabel Valverde 
> (Portugal) and Christina Papagiannouli (London).
> The Planning Meeting
> A meeting in Wellington and online will discuss the current situation of 
> UpStage and plan for its sustainable future in an increasingly difficult 
> economic climate.
