Page, stage and digitally in-between: serialised transmedia stage adaptations of children's books that blend private reading and public theatre engage

这是一个以实践为研究的项目，旨在探索一种创新的新的系列戏剧模式，用于儿童书籍的舞台改编，通过沉浸式跨媒体技术，为年轻人参与公共戏剧和私人阅读活动的混合模式，在现场表演之间创造空间。它试图取代目前的商业动机，使戏剧体验系列化，鼓励观众“购买与特定叙事宇宙的长期关系”，并推动“一系列消费者选择”（詹金斯，“昆汀”，2003年：284），其动机植根于故事工艺和年轻人通过跨媒体数字技术（如社交媒体和在线社区）与戏剧和书籍的强大潜在接触，可以将公共戏剧推向私人阅读领域，反之亦然。

This is a practice-as-research project that seeks to explore an innovative new serialisedtheatre paradigm for stage adaptations of children's books that creates spaces betweenepisodes of live performance for young people to participate in blended modes of publictheatre and private reading engagements through immersive transmedia technologies. Itseeks to replace the current commercial motivations for serialising theatre experiences,to encourage audiences "to buy into a prolonged relationship with a particular narrativeuniverse" and drive "a succession of consumer choices" (Jenkins, "Quentin", 2003:284), with motivations rooted in story craft and the powerful potential engagement ofyoung people with theatre and books through transmedia digital technologies like socialmedia and online communities that can drive public theatre into the sphere of privatereading and vice versa.
