![](/media/2023/5/Modina.jpeg)
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.
