I thought that article was just really fun to read. I love reading about new technologies and inventions often because I am always wondering how they can be used in theatre. In the article, I was interested that they are making another play about the founding fathers. Perhaps it can be used live? With actors in their costumes and themselves being digitized on a screen behind them? Or maybe it can be used for virtual theatre? I find that it is important to keep up with technology and science in combination with theatre because I believe that the future of theatre will rely on tech. There are some really cool inventions out there such as these that have no immediate connection to theatre but is seen in the right way, and can be a new tool for it. Even though I’m not a costume designer I still see the importance of custom design in everyday entertainment. Even in real life what we wear says so much about who we are as people and really tells our inner characters without even meeting too. So I really enjoyed this article that highlights costume design because I feel like it’s something that’s overlooked a lot and especially in designs where the entertainment is of the modern-day.
