The showcase at ID8 brings together alumni from The Performance Corporation's creative technology residency.
Dublin's Beta Festival is presenting a showcase of work by artists from The Performance Corporation’s SPACE programme as part of its conference at ID8, The Digital Hub. Running across 6–7 November from 10am to 5pm with free admission, the presentation focuses on multidisciplinary exchange, digital environments, and creative technology experiments.
The Performance Corporation, a multi-platform creative company producing theatre, opera, spectacle, and immersive experiences, runs the SPACE programme as one of Ireland’s longest-running multidisciplinary residencies. In recent years, the residency has expanded its focus to explore digital spaces alongside technological innovation. This year’s cohort brings together alumni from an international exchange initiative facilitated by Jo Mangan and Hanna Slätte.
Featured artists in the group include James Riordan, Emily Aoibheann McDonnell, Fionnuala Conway, 1iing Heaney, Conan McIvor, Tamsin Snow, and Serena Devereux. Among the cohort, Dublin-based multidisciplinary artist Emily Aoibheann works across choreography, performance, sound, and digital media, having previously developed collaborative projects such as Turrus with digital artist 1iing Heaney. Undisciplinary director and visual artist Conan McIvor, currently an MFA Theatre Directing student at Trinity College Dublin’s The Lir, contributes work traversing screen, stage, and virtual and augmented reality.
Together, the group’s work spans performance art, video design, VR/AR, and installation, highlighting ongoing cross-disciplinary experimentation at the intersection of live performance and digital media.
The showcase offers local creatives direct access to developments in digital and immersive arts, highlighting how Irish multidisciplinary practitioners integrate live performance with new technology.
