[rohrpost] Stellenausschreibung Stanford: next-generation design technologies for live performance

[Tamiko Thiel]

Hi,

dieses Mal auf Englisch, weil die Stelle in USA ist:

Theater and Performance Studies, Stanford University is searching for an 
assistant professor of theatre practice, specializing in next-generation 
design technologies for live performance.

Matt Smith, who is leading the search committee, is very interested in 
getting applications from abroad. He is the author of the book "The 
Total Work Of Art: From Bayreuth to Cyberspace" - which ends with a 
chapter on virtual reality as a theatrical medium (full disclosure: 
including my VR work Beyond Manzanar). He's also a wonderful person, 
highly recommended!

Details below.
