DIGITAL PRODUCTION
Bold Theatre was founded at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, when physical performance opportunities shrank dramatically and the global theatre community was debating whether digital theatre qualified as .
“real theatre.”.
For us, that debate was irrelevant. Instead of asking what theatre should be, we asked how we could reconnect with artists who were experiencing mental health strain due to financial instability, isolation, grief, and uncertainty..Digital space became our stage.
THE BOLD MEMOIR SHOW (2020)
This was our first digital project — a five-episode online performance series featuring:
-Live streamed performances
-Pre-recorded works submitted by artists
-Personal storytelling including monologues, spoken word, and music
-Live theatre showcases
-Screen performance projects
-Monologue and scene presentations
-Industry-style rehearsals
The show attracted an international audience and became the foundation of our global collaborations.
INTERCULTURAL DIGITAL COLLABORATIONS
Following the Memoir Show, artists from different parts of the world began engaging in deeper exchange. This led to the creation of BOLD STUDIO Workshops, a digital lab model where artists shared methodologies, devising processes, and cultural performance approaches..

Digital theatre practitioners who facilitated workshops on:
*Online ensemble building *Camera-aware performance * Digital dramaturgy * Screen-conscious staging These sessions supported Bold artists in transitioning from stage-based performance to digital and screen-based work.
