“Remote Theater is one of those newly-minted organizations designed especially to solve the challenges of the absence of live theater….”
“The ways that mothers and daughters interact, the ways they influence each other, for better and for worse, is an endlessly fascinating and drama-worthy topic, and Clarvoe has mined and distilled one particular such scenario to its full potential. With an original score by local composer Paul Dresher, and such fine-tuned performances, it’s an engrossing 70-minute Zoom ride.”
Silicon Valley CA -- March 30, 2021 -- Remote Theater, a pioneering new theater company born in the pandemic, has announced a repertory of accomplished theater artists to help reimagine theater for its post-pandemic transformation. With its new 12-person artist group, Remote has also launched a campaign to help fund a small full-time staff, an ambitious 2021 season (the theatre’s second), and technology designed to connect audiences in both virtual and physical spaces.
“There has never been a better time to step back and reimagine what theatre might be,” said Remote co-founder and artistic director, Giovanni Rodriguez. “The pandemic has forced us to reconsider how we use public spaces. It’s also forced us to embrace virtual communication technology -- which is advancing rapidly -- not just as a proxy for physical connection but as its own medium with its own rules and prerogatives.”
The Remote Rep
The Remote Rep is a group of actors, writers, and composers who have collaborated with one another over the past year at Remote Theater and peer organizations. They are now resident artists of the company. A few are associated with other companies and will continue to work with them as well.
