think of all the ways theatre groups could use crowdsourcing… what about
an impro show that relied on a twitterfeed from the audience using a
hashtag for the event? It’s probably already been done, but there are
millions of ways that theatre groups could use crowdsourcing, and for
theatre venues or companies, it provides an automatic way to connect
with your audiences.

My husband is doing a show based on this idea at the moment.

Really interesting thoughts, Luke. When I mention twitter to lots of actors, musicians and general all-round ‘creative types’ they tend to shudder at me and go ‘yuck! I’m not jumping on the bandwagon!’ – so I will share this post with them.

Oh and I had a thought on the concept of tweatre – perhaps us tweeps could create a script via twitter and all write a line each including info about characters, dialogue and stage directions? and use the hashtag #realtimetweatre – I wonder if that could work?

Great article with some helpful tips and insight on using Twitter in theatre (love the idea of Tweatre!). Thanks also for the link to the London Theatre Blog.

I will be covering Twitter and its many uses in the next article on the site so watch this space!
