Technology and the Future of Theatre, Sarah Ellis, TEDx London Business School

Art and technology are often seen as distinct disciplines. But combining them results in magic. Sarah Ellis, the Director of Digital Development at the Royal Shakespeare Company, teaches us how technology is reimagining the experience of theatre, taking it beyond the stage and into our living rooms. As an awardwinning producer, Sarah Ellis currently works as Director of Digital Development for the Royal Shakespeare Company to explore new artistic initiatives and partnerships. The latest partnership for the RSC is the Audience of the Future Live Performance Demonstrator funded by Innovate UK a consortium consisting of arts organisations, research partners and technology companies to explore the future of performances and realtime immersive experiences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
