For an Independent Study, I researched the best ways to show live theatre through live streaming. The start of my study focused on learning Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) with Zoom and Skype (NDI use) and transitioned into learning the software Isadora. With this research, I was asked to program a projector used in the production Mother Courage and Her Children with Isadora. The file I created allowed the operator to open the projector's shutter and fade in the image all in a single-press operation as well as fade out the image and close the shutter in another single-press operation.
