After a full conference day focused on AI and theater, this last session brings an outlook into the future of stage magic: What possibilities emerge when theater and AI truly share the stage? As we draw the curtain, Sarah Ellis, Director of Digital Development at the Royal Shakespeare Company, offers a visionary perspective on how technology can deepen theater’s emotional reach. From real-time immersive experiences to reimagining audience connection beyond the physical venue, Sarah explores how artistic legacy and digital innovation can coexist, collaborate, and even enchant.
