Version 2.0 is currently only available to existing license holders, as it completes it final testing phase before public release. (Early Adopters program)

If you are not yet ready for Isadora 2.0, or just want to test the most recent version, you can download the pre-release here: http://troikatronix.com/download/isadora-pre-releases/
Although it will say 2.0 in the splash start up screen, it is only when you purchase a license or a license upgrade to 2.0 that the full feature set of 2.0 is unlocked. In the meantime you will be working with a beta version that has the latest bug fixes, but without the new features unlocked.

If you are a total newbie (welcome to Isadora!) you may want to consider working first with a demo version of the standard release, since it matches the pdf manual tutorials and existing tutorial videos.
Standard Release v1.3.x: http://troikatronix.com/download/isadora-download/
Be sure to download the manual from the 'Related Downloads' section, also run the installer for Pete's FreeFrame plugins, and visit the online video tutorials available via the help menu, all of which is available with the free demo version.

Isadora 2.0 has begun its roll out to early adopters. (Current license holders can upgrade early, before the official release).

New features include the built in IzzyMap projection mapper, Javascript actor, massive speed increases for HD playback, FFGL plugins, and plenty more.

On July 9 at the Rye Studio School careers day for 16-18 year old students, Jamie Griffiths welcomed students to the world of interactive art and design.  The Isadora software installation detects a visitor in the chair, welcomes them verbally and then instructs them to send a text to summon the artist/designer to meet them at the table for a chat.

A nice blog from Graham Thorne aka Skulpture about his experience designing with Isadora at The Glastonbury Temple, this year.

Isadora's own Mark Coniglio will be teaching one of the two modules at this 5 day event in Austria. Info below. Sign up deadline July 20th 2014.

Schmiede is currently developing a new project to further enhance the possibilities of professionals and will consequently establish an academy format in Hallein. Its goal will be to radically enable participants to explore and deepen their personal work and develop tools to communicate it.

Two modules will be available in 2014:
# Integrating new media and performers on stage - Mark Coniglio
# Bespoke - developing projects in performing arts - Beda Percht


Professional artists and creators are invited to apply. Participation in the SchmiedeLab: Akademie (September 15. - 19. 2014) is not free – but thanks to a generous grant from the city of Hallein, Schmiede is able to offer scholarships for selected participants.

An independent jury, in cooperation with the module leaders, will conduct the selection.
