Questionnaire

Narrative
With this equipment, the department will be able to record performances for webcasting and livestreaming shows. In addition to virtual sharing, as the department transitions sections of Theatre and Dance Appreciation to Fully Online Courses, remote students will be able to access department productions when remote learning, allowing for distance learning students to access campus. In addition, the ability to record productions between dance, theatre, and the professional company on campus will allow us to increase online content for students who may not be able to attend live performances due to personal conflicts. The choice was made for mobile equipment to allow movement between Studio I, Studio II, Theatre Lab, The outdoor Amphitheater, or any other found space that the department may seek to create performance. This equipment can also be used for college events to livestream presentations that may be produced outside of the University Theatre.
