"Within a Theatre production, how does the use of multimedia help in its communication to an audience? What does it add to the piece?"
I have chosen the production "Upwake" written, directed and performed solely by Natasha Tsakos.The different kinds of multimedia used in this production were: - Sound effects- Music- Video/Film- Projection
This helps her communicate with the audience because it's just a single member cast, she needs the help of other mediums to put her message across. In her piece she wanted humour, simplicity, beauty and complexity all at the same time. As a solo actor that can be quite difficult so she used the means of screens to help set a scene or to create metaphors to suggest ideas.
It can also add in many different opportunities for audience members to interpret certain parts of the show in their own way as their may be many different ways to interpret it.
