Desktop Theater
Desktop Theater was a project created by Adriene Jenik created with Lisa Brenneis which lasted a total of five years, (1997-2002). It was a series of early experiments in networked performance, using online discussion rooms and visual chat applications, one of which was called 'The Palace'. The purpose of the project was to introduce a new compelling way in which the public interact with theatre. With online or live theatre, it introduced new parameters, all those that you would see live on stage such as gestures, emotions and speech were compressed into 2D and computer speech. The project had created over forty web-based performance's during the progression of the project.

Using 'The Palace', the company would have gone into the online environment and using their avatars, perform stage performance's. One adaptation they performed was Waiting for Godot, written by Samuel Beckett which they named 'waitingforgodot.com'.

As well as plays, the Desktop Theater project also created; Improvs, Activities, Activerse and Workshops which were a way in which to involve the audience further and to push the limitation between performer and audience.
