Digital is here. foldA celebrates it.
foldA’s programming is structured to support artists creating theatre in a digital age
- Alpha — Performances in their earliest stages, ready for internal testing, but require audience feedback to spark the next stage of development.
- Beta — Performances ready for public testing to refine the audience experience.
- Go — Performances ready for production release. Audience input contributes to improvements and bug fixes just like your favourite ap.
As a city, we are always looking to embrace innovation. Art, culture and technology are at the heart of inspiring new and exciting ideas. foldA is a unique festival based in Kingston that positions the city at the centre of a national experiment in live performance and technology that breaks new ground. We hope you will join the artists, researchers and audiences here from across the country to explore how foldA makes it possible to experience art and technology intersecting in a new way.
— Bryan Paterson, Mayor of Kingston
