Lost #auddev chat from 3/18: Theatre, Social Media & Audience Development

Posted by Shoshana 
· Wednesday, June 15th, 2011 
On Friday, March 18th, we had a guest host for an #auddev Twitter chat, Praxis Theatre based in Toronto, Canada.  They decided to do a chat about social media and audience development for Canadian theatres and invite the world to join them.  I had created a transcript for this event, but found out today that the transcript is no longer available.  Below is the re-creation of the transcript, and this time it will be solidified on my blog for further reference.
The conversation had some discussion about whether or not to allow tweeting during a performance, how to use different social media platforms effectively, what is working and what is not working.
Enjoy the following transcript, and if you have any comments, feel free to leave a reply below! 
@praxistheatre Welcome all to Praxis Theatre’s first effort at hosting a live tweet chat. Talking about social media and building audiences today. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:00:10 +0000 – tweet id 48790812796010496 – #52

@praxistheatre Chat was inspired by seeing live tweeting of @Catalyst__ca’s opening of Hunchback @citadeltheatre last week. How did that go? #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:04:27 +0000 – tweet id 48791890421760000 – #67

@Catalyst__ca @praxistheatre Opening night live tweets were great. Increased our followers-although did get accused of spamming. #auddevFri Mar 18 17:07:12 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48792582834225152 – #69

@shelltheatre @shelltheatre had an event on the same day as @citadeltheatre ‘s opening. Both of our tweeters ended up trending in YEG. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:07:36 +0000 – tweet id 48792681954017280 – #70

@Catalyst__ca @praxistheatre I think it was really good in terms of building hype for the show (well deserved hype I hope!) #auddevFri Mar 18 17:07:46 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48792722429050881 – #71

@RachealMc @praxistheatre @Catalyst__ca @citadeltheatre were you tweeting during the show or just before & after? #auddevFri Mar 18 17:07:53 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48792754372874241 – #72

@praxistheatre Accused of spamming! Don’t those people follow you by choice? #auddevFri Mar 18 17:08:17 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48792851982725120 – #73

@theatreontario @Catalyst__ca Spamming…meaning tweeted too frequently? What was your rate? #auddevFri Mar 18 17:08:28 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48792897713221633 – #74

@RachealMc @catalyst__ca that happens almost any time you have a twitter “party”. #auddevFri Mar 18 17:08:48 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48792985244155904 – #75

@praxistheatre @shelltheatre That’s great to hear about trending in #YEG. It’s pretty challenging to get things trending here in TO. #auddevFri Mar 18 17:09:06 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48793058573160448 – #76

@citadeltheatre @praxistheatre @Catalyst__ca It was great! Folks were interested in Visible Tweets. 1 complaint, refresh rate was low. #yeghunchback #auddevFri Mar 18 17:09:08 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48793066554920960 – #77

@SMLois @Catalyst__ca I wouldn’t consider what you did spamming. I am bothered more by users who RT 25 things and give no original content #auddevFri Mar 18 17:09:17 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48793107290001408 – #78
tweet details

@catalyst__ca @RachealMc We were just tweeting before, at interm, and after. During the show I was too silently cheering our actors on. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:09:30 +0000 – tweet id 48793160129847296 – #79

@lindork @praxistheatre I thought Catalyst__ca’s Retweets of ppl’s #yeghunchback thoughts were great I wanted to see what others were saying! #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:09:45 +0000 – tweet id 48793222729838592 – #80

@praxistheatre I met @lindork online that night, a “theatre newbie” and she told me she went to the show because she saw the tweets. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:10:04 +0000 – tweet id 48793302044131328 – #81
tweet details

@Riz_B @citadeltheatre we’ve never had a problem with refresh rate, but then we usually only have about 6 designated tweeters for an event. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:10:13 +0000 – tweet id 48793339939655681 – #82

@catalyst__ca @theatreontario Ya, was retweeting comments with the hastag and was told I was spamming. But was trying to start treading #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:10:25 +0000 – tweet id 48793392502673408 – #83

@RachealMc @catalyst__ca good. I’ve heard of ppl tweeting during the show and that’s just no on for me. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:10:33 +0000 – tweet id 48793422965915648 – #84

@lindork @RachealMc re: tweeting during- I wanted to tweet during the show but felt it would be too rude & the bright light would interrupt:( #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:10:45 +0000 – tweet id 48793473880567809 – #85

@praxistheatre @shelltheatre told me they’ve been live tweeting shows since Nov ’10. Shell, can audience members tweet DURING the show? #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:10:56 +0000 – tweet id 48793520814817280 – #88
tweet details

@SMLois @RachealMc I’ve done live tweets during a show before, but I do it from the booth, so it’s a bit different #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:11:05 +0000 – tweet id 48793558647451648 – #89

@Riz_B @shelltheatre has a section for our tweeters, so they can quietly/discretely tweet during our events #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:11:07 +0000 – tweet id 48793566696325120 – #90

@lindork @citadeltheatre I wanted to see all of the #yeghunchback tweets live/at intermission but it seemed the tag was loading very slow #auddevFri Mar 18 17:11:38 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48793696782659584 – #92
tweet details

@praxistheatre @canadianstage That’s interesting about unfollowing. But pretty democratic. You don’t have to follow if you don’t want to. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:11:55 +0000 – tweet id 48793768454922240 – #93

@HPRodeo Tweeting *during* a show really depends on the show for us. If it’s a cabaret, great! If it’s a more traditional production, no-go. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:12:02 +0000 – tweet id 48793797756325888 – #94
tweet details

@catalyst__ca @lindork That’s what I was hoping for. To create sense of event with all the tweets from us and others. Great to see people talking #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:12:28 +0000 – tweet id 48793905839353856 – #95

@RachealMc @smlois I think an SM’s perspective during a show would be really interesting. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:12:33 +0000 – tweet id 48793928031404033 – #96

@lindork @praxistheatre still consider myself a theatre newb but much more interested in going! Tweets leading up to show played a huge role #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:12:34 +0000 – tweet id 48793930736738304 – #97

@SMLois @Catalyst__ca it also depends how many people they follow who were online at the time. They might not have noticed if more online? #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:12:52 +0000 – tweet id 48794006913687552 – #99

@shelltheatre We’re a roadhouse, so we’re not dealing w/ many conventional theatre moments; it’s easier 4 us 2 open up the doors to live tweeting. #auddevFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:13:01 +0000 – tweet id 48794046067511296 – #101

@SMLois Which brings us to the question, of is the tweeting for the audience in the building or the folks you are trying to bring in #auddevFri Mar 18 17:18:38 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48795457798942720 – #141

@shelltheatre We’ve had people try new genres just because they get to live tweet. 1st ballet, 1st bluegrass, 1st classical guitar, 1st play #auddevFri Mar 18 17:18:53 +0000 2011 – tweet id 48795522663849985 – #142
