A night at the theatre is back on the table.  The Pop-Up Globe returns next month, bringing well-loved classics to life for the first time since 2020.  Audiences will be able to enjoy Twelfth Night and Romeo and Juliet in comfort, the company taking to the stage of SkyCity Theatre.   David Lawrence, the Artistic Director for the Globe, told Tim Dower that the shows feature a lot of returning actors and the same performance style, just with comfortable seats and air conditioning.   He said that the Pop-Up Globe is a populist theatre company, and they perform these plays so everyone can come together under the same roof and have a great time together.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new AI-driven visual experience has popped up halfway down Auckland's Queen Street. HyperCinema was co-created by Dr Miles Gregory of the Pop-Up Globe, and Tarver Graham, founder of creative agency Gladeye, and it promises viewers a mix of theatre, film and digital technology. Entertainment commentator Chris Schulz says this event shows how AI can evolve to create visual entertainment. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A pop-up theatre has launched in Auckland which allows guests to see themselves as the star of the show, with the help of articicual intelligence. Participants at Hypercinema have photos taken of themselves from multiple angles, and then view their customised, short AI film across three spaces - a cinema, a gallery and a projection space. One reviewer described it both as a thought-provoking experiment on the role of AI in art - another described it as a narcassist's dream. It's the co-creation of Dr Miles Gregory, founder of the Pop-Up Globe, who after years as an artistic director and producer at various festivals, touring companies and theatres, is now embracing a new medium.
