Abstract [en]
Performing with technology is a complex and challenging task. Artists who use novel technologies, such as Virtual Reality, have to develop strategies of monitoring, maintenance, and recovery from errors with as minimal impact on the ongoing performance as possible. In this paper we draw on two case studies of mixed-reality performances and document strategies of Stage Managing VR Performance, Choreographing for Cables, Consistency & Charging, Improvising Interventions, and Priming Participants. We discuss how these practices expose areas ripe with potential for tool development, and how they can also be used to inform the design of interaction with other technologies, such as the Internet of Things.

Note
Funding text 1: We were not involved in the design of the performance described in Case One: The Shared Individual, nor its deployment. However, as part of our ongoing collaboration with Bombina Bombast, we were invited to attend and observe the design process and rehearsal sessions of the performance. Additionally, several recordings and related documentation of the performance being staged in different festivals and venues were made available to the research team. The artists did not receive any monetary compensation for their collaboration in this research, however their production was supported by a grant from KulturBryggan, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee.
