This unique European theatre project uses technology innovatively and imaginatively to create new theatre in a specially designed CyberStudio that offers myriad possibilities for live on-line,reflective and archival research by geographically dispersed collaborators. Our chosen use of this new tool we have created, confronts the enduringly thorny subject of gender relationships in today's globalised culture by plunging into the intimacy of cyber space to make live performance. We thus work from the potential the Web offers for private lives to become public, for exhibitionism, confessional correspondence and masquerade. We explore how we behave here, role-playing anonymously and writing collectively, and adapt this into a uniquely energetic and lively theatre text. As a co-production this innovative work brings two very different organisations that share theatrical aims and creative strategies into close and pioneering collaboration. Both Director and partner organisation Mladinsko Theatre (Ljubljana), share a commitment to theatrical research, each inspired by the example of Peter Brook. Mladinsko's ensemble of actors, still working today from a Communist cultural employment model with annual salaries, long rehearsals and tenured contracts, contribute intellectually and artistically to the creation of new works and conduct intensive literary and practical research over many months on each new project. Whilst less funded in the UK, creating work over much shorter periods, the Director also encourages the performer to be an active intellectual and artistic collaborator in theatrical creation. In the Don Juan Project habits are being stretched in new directions. Technology here offers an exceptionally long artistic research and development period leading to a physical/devising methodology in rehearsals towards final production. The inventive and original approach to the development of a dramaturgy / using cyberspace as a research studio / is an experiment in how to harness technology to artistic synergy. The co-production involves a core company of five Mladinsko/three UK researcher-performers, and a Dramaturg. Prior to live research in rehearsals, they will have met and played in the CyberStudio in directed research, improvisation and role play for one year on a weekly basis. They use live writing and visual and written source material to interrogate the icon of Don Juan as manifest in classical and modern drama, poetry, opera, film, the Web and their imaginations as a springboard.Together with Mladinsko dramaturg, Zeljko Hrs, Furse will create a draft performance text devised from this virtual exchange. The company will assemble live for a ten week rehearsal process in two blocks of time during which this text will be further researched in embodied practices - training, improvisation and devising - and reconstructed into its final performative text. The result should prove to be an electric, visceral and trenchant physical theatre production in which all will have invested a great deal of themselves and which should appeal to a wide audience as well as to scholars and researchers in contemporary European theatre and performance, media studies, and gender studies in particular.The production will premiere for performances at Goldsmiths Theatre, London and Mladinsko in September 2007. It will tour abroad and to venues in the UK, offering workshops, talks and residencies to University Theatre/performance departments in 2008. Immediately our research has come to fruition, the software for the CyberStudio will be released into the public domain on line together with a Manual and a Creative Commons license, so that as a template it can continue to serve and be adapted by practioners and researchers, encouraging potentially globally dispersed collaboration. A conference on international co-production models is planned for 2008 to coincide with UK touring.

这个独特的欧洲剧院项目采用创新和创新的技术，在专门设计的CyberStudio中创建新的剧院，为地理上分散的合作者提供了无数的在线直播，反思和档案研究的可能性。我们选择使用我们创造的这个新工具，通过投入到网络空间的亲密关系中进行现场表演，来面对当今全球化文化中令人不安的棘手性别关系主题。因此，我们的工作是从网络提供的潜在的私人生活变得公开，为暴露狂，忏悔通信和化妆舞会。我们探索我们在这里的行为，角色扮演匿名和集体写作，并将其改编成一个独特的充满活力和生动的戏剧文本。作为一个联合制作，这一创新的工作带来了两个非常不同的组织，分享戏剧的目标和创造性的战略，进入密切和开拓性的合作。无论是导演和合作伙伴组织Mladinsko剧院（卢布尔雅那），分享戏剧研究的承诺，每个彼得布鲁克的例子启发。Mladinsko的演员们，今天仍然从一个共产主义的文化就业模式工作，年薪，长期排练和终身合同，在智力和艺术上为新作品的创作做出贡献，并在每个新项目上进行深入的文学和实践研究。虽然英国的资金较少，创作时间短得多，但导演也鼓励表演者在戏剧创作中成为积极的智力和艺术合作者。在《唐璜计划》中，习惯被延伸到新的方向。这里的技术提供了一个非常长的艺术研究和开发周期，导致最终生产的排练中的物理/设计方法。创造性和原创性的方法来发展一个戏剧/使用网络空间作为一个研究工作室/是一个实验，在如何利用技术的艺术协同作用。联合制作涉及一个由五名Mladinsko/三名英国研究员表演者组成的核心公司和一个戏剧师。在排练现场研究之前，他们将每周在CyberStudio中进行一年的定向研究，即兴创作和角色扮演。他们使用现场写作和视觉和书面的源材料来询问唐璜的图标，表现在古典和现代戏剧，诗歌，歌剧，电影，网络和他们的想象力作为跳板。与Mladinsko dramaturg，Zeljko Hrs一起，Furse将从这个虚拟交流中设计出一个表演文本草案。该公司将在两个时间段内进行为期十周的排练过程，在此期间，该文本将在具体实践中进一步研究-培训，即兴创作和设计-并重建为最终的表演文本。结果将证明是一个电动的，内脏和尖锐的身体戏剧生产，所有人都将投入大量的自己，这应该吸引广大观众，以及学者和研究人员在当代欧洲戏剧和表演，媒体研究，特别是性别研究，生产将首演在金匠剧院，伦敦和Mladinsko在2007年9月演出。2008年，它将在国外和英国的场馆巡回演出，为大学戏剧/表演系提供研讨会、讲座和驻地。一旦我们的研究取得成果，CyberStudio的软件将与手册和知识共享许可证一起发布到公共领域，以便作为模板，它可以继续服务于实践者和研究人员，鼓励潜在的全球分散合作。一个关于国际合作生产模式的会议计划在2008年举行，以配合英国巡回演出。
