UpStage is a web-based venue for cyberformance - the real-time compilation of digital media into live performance, by multiple remote players for an online audience (and sometimes an offline audience as well).
People anywhere in the world can participate in live performance events by using standard browser software to access UpStage, without having to download and install additional software and without needing to know anythin other than a web address.
UpStage was born from the desire to reach a wider audience and to make it easier for audiences and
performers alike to participate in live performance via the internet.
The software combines the different elements of cyberformance - graphical avatars, web cams, audio, images, text chat (and who knows what else in the future) - into a single interface. The audience simply directs their browser to the web address at the appointed
time, to watch and participate in the cyberformance.
