ORIGIN OF THE PROJECT
One of the biggest problems in the world of the dramatic arts has to do with the rehearsal, the editing and modification of the scripts of the plays. Traditionally, a first copy of the script is printed for the first rehearsal. Then potential changes are made manually along time until reaching a point where you must reprint again due to the large number of changes written on the original copy... It seems nothing but it can actually generates a series of issues:
Confusion in the edition
Confusion in the dialogues
Disorder in the synchronization of the dialogues
Waste of time
Waste of paper
Given this type of circumstances, actors and companies have tried to adapt technological tools that allow them to make changes in a synchronized way and avoid confusion and wasting resources, such as: Google Docs, Doodle, Facebook groups, Whatsapp…
However, all these tools have limits due to a single cause: they were not created specifically for the theater. They neither understand nor integrate the specific necessities of the theatrical world and users.
That is why Dramarts was born. At the beginning it was mainly thought as an application that allows editing and synchronizing the scripts of theater plays, facilitating the update and test of constant script changes that occur daily. Then, the app has been developed to meet other challenges and necessities inherent to the theatrical world.
