In this episode, Professor Douglas Eacho joins us in discussing his article, "Performativity without theatricality, experiments at the limit of staging AI,” and how his work as Assistant Director of the BMO Lab in Creative Research explores the fascinating intersection of AI and theatre. We discuss the inspiration behind his research and the future implications of merging artificial intelligence with performance.
Eacho is an assistant professor at the Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies at the University of Toronto. He also serves as Assistant Director, Academic of the BMO Lab, where his work focuses on how the performing arts have historically responded to the rise of computational media and what this convergence means for the future of theatre and performance.
