Media Week: Bringing the Stage to the Screen with National Theatre Live

Arts & Business Club and Tech & Media Club are delighted to host David Sabel for an inspiring afternoon discussion about turning your passion into a profession. As an MBA student at Cambridge, David did his dissertation at the National Theatre. What started as his student feasibility study about live-streaming productions transformed into the birth of NT Live and his position as Director of Broadcast and Digital at the beloved British institution. Through his stewardship, streaming became a means of democratizing access to the arts and extending experiences beyond the barriers of the stage. With his own production company, he continues to innovate in the space by exploring the ways in which new narrative forms can arise from digital arenas.

Join us to learn how National Theatre Live changed the global theatrical landscape and what David believes the future holds for the performing arts post pandemic.
