Dance and Technology Residencies 2023–24 for Europe-based practitioners

MODINA (Movement, Digital Intelligence and Interactive Audience) is calling for applications from Europe-based dance artists and creative technologist duos to apply for one of the 8-week residencies that will take place in Romania, Slovenia, Estonia, Germany and Hungary between November 2023 and April 2024.

The project MODINA aims to expand the creative possibilities for contemporary dance performances, and augment the experience for the audience, using digital technology – with an emphasis on exploring artificial intelligence (AI) and audience interaction, on-site and online.

About the residency

MODINA is opening the Artist Residencies for Europe-based multidisciplinary duos, encompassing competences in dance and in technology (particularly related to computational creativity and audience interaction). There are 5 residencies of 8 weeks, across 5 performance centres:
