The New Stage: Crafting the Future of Live VR Theatre

As the boundaries between physical performance and virtual space dissolve, a new generation of live theatre creators has emerged—pioneering everything from cinematic roleplay and intimate storytelling to atmospheric world-building. 

Moderated by Raindance Immersive Curator Jiyue Hu, The New Stage panel brings together the world’s leading visionaries in live VR theatre: Alex Coulombe, Deirdre V. Lyons, Jason Moore, Mandy Canales and Stephen Butchko. This session explores the technical, emotional, and architectural challenges of staging live immersive theatre within social VR. Together, they will discuss how they are redefining presence, navigating the complexities of audience agency, and building the foundational infrastructure for virtual Broadway.
