I guess I am talking about analysing the written works more than the final acted piece (e.g. a book of Sam Shepard plays vs their performance). That would be good enough, I think.
I totally get why you would want to avoid the rabbit hole but your work is super interesting and I hope that you do get the luxury of being able to dive into adjacent formats and comparing them.
I dont want to say anything and get into trouble like Chalamet :)
But yes, I do believe that if AI is going to get so good at things that we are all going to have free time, we are going to have more time for entertainment. It is either going to be the arena or protests - and theatre might reclaim its glory days.
Ive been watching some of the shows by the National Theatre via streaming and do enjoy them.
Adjacency wise, a few startups have asked if they can use this framework to finetune their storytelling. Im still thinking.
