Dear Friends, as we come to the end of another weird and wonderful year, I would like to share with you & the franklin furnace community the results of my current collaboration, Mobilise/Demobilise. We have just released the video documentation from the festival in October, which also launched the rebuilt UpStage platform. three cyberformances were presented at the festival: “go go go” by Schaumbad – Freies Atelierhas Graz; “reMove” by Teater Interakt (Malmö, Sweden) and “repose” by Vicki Smith & Collaborators (Aotearoa, New Zealand).
The video at the following link also shows some of the research and development:

The new UpStage is now live and beautiful; in February we will restart open walkthroughs – online sessions for interested people to learn how to use the platform.
For more info, please visit the following link:

The project has been a lot of fun so far and has attracted a really great team of collaborators, including a 50% female software development team. Mobilise/Demobilise continues throughout 2022, so there will be more opportunities to see the performances live; & UpStage is there for other artists to use for their own projects as well.
Wishing you all a peaceful & healthy festive season!
