TRIAL: On the boards TV

Trial avail­able Octo­ber 21 — Decem­ber 6, 2011

http://www.ontheboards.tv

Please note: Dur­ing the trial, access is avail­able only on campus

OntheBoards.tv is a web­site run through our venue that deliv­ers high cal­iber, feature-length films of con­tem­po­rary dance and the­ater per­for­mances. This inno­v­a­tive plat­form was cre­ated by On the Boards, a non-profit arts orga­ni­za­tion based in Seat­tle, WA. Launched in Jan­u­ary 2010, this first-of-its-kind site brings con­tem­po­rary per­for­mance to a wider pub­lic by film­ing top cal­iber per­for­mances with mul­ti­ple high-definition cam­eras, edit­ing the film col­lab­o­ra­tively with the artists, and deliv­er­ing them online as feature-length per­for­mance films. Films can be streamed or down­loaded via indi­vid­ual or sub­scrip­tion purchase.
