Page "Digital theatre" Paragraph 14

Digital theatre does not exist in a vacuum but in relation to other terminology.

It is a type of Digital Performance and may accommodate many types of “ live ”/ mediated theatre including “ VR Theatre ”( 11 ) and “ Computer Theatre ,”( 12 ) both of which involve specific types of computer media, “ live ” performers, story / words, and limited levels of interactivity.

However, terms such as “ Desktop Theatre ,”( 13 ) using animated computer avatars in online chat-rooms without co-present audiences falls outside digital theatre into the larger category of digital performance.

Likewise, digital dance may fall outside the parameters of digital theatre, if it does not contain elements of story or spoken words.
