Live Streaming since 2005

Livestreaming or what some call Telematic Performance has been an integral part of Justin’s dance and art practice since 2005 when, as a member of the dance company MAGPIE, he introduced the technology to enable multi-site, improvised music & dance performance.

He’s delighted the technology and its use in arts and education is now ubiquitous and finds opportunities to consult for and produce Livestreaming events whenever he can. Contact Justin if you’re interested in collaborating.
