He decided on a combination of Zoom, Google Earth, Qlab and, at the heart of the system, Telestream’s Wirecast live video streaming production solution which he had worked with previously. With a background in live theater, Urruzmendi-Mele moved quickly to evaluate broadcasting and livestreaming options for the event.
When the shelter-in-place mandate went into effect, the team began online rehearsals immediately since we had to completely redesign the show to be able to do it in this medium.”Įye Zen brought on Maximiliano Pierre Urruzmendi-Mele (“Max”) as technical director to put together the pieces of the livestreaming puzzle. “We decided to pivot the production we’d originally planned for the street to create a virtual experience that would allow us to move forward and offer our audiences these stories of resilience when we all need them the most. “The OUT of Site project places audiences in historical spaces of queer history and brings them to life with live performance,” explained Eisen. In 2019, it spotlighted San Francisco’s South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood and this year, OUT of Site will continue as a livestreamed event. By experimentally blending performative and visual disciplines such as puppetry and live-drawing with contemporary dance, drag, live music, physical theater and video, OUT of Site launched in 2018 with a sold-out run of performances in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood. This year, in response to COVID-19 safety concerns, the initial run of six shows which will take place between June 19 and 28 in celebration of Pride Month will be held as virtual, livestreamed street-theater events.įounded by Seth Eisen in 2007, Eye Zen artistically recaptures LGBTQ stories and sites overlooked from historical records to create a lasting body of evidence and distribute it for future generations. The event, OUT of Site: SOMA, explores the history of San Francisco’s South of Market district, a catalyst for radical change and a stronghold for queer and activist organizing. Nevada City, California, June 18 th, 2020 - Telestream, a leading provider of workflow automation, media processing, quality monitoring and test and measurement solutions for the production and distribution of video, today announced that its Wirecast solution is playing an essential role in allowing San Francisco-based theater company, Eye Zen Presents, to livestream its virtual, performance-driven LGBTQ history tour for Pride Month.
