Digitalisation training for circus and dance artists

Digital Leap international project is calling for professional circus and dance artists based in Czech Republic, Finland, France, Lithuania, Norway, Spain or Sweden to apply for the Digital Leap learning modules on digitalisation.

The Digital Leap learning modules are two 5-day events consisting of theory about and hands-on training in digital platforms from different perspectives.

Topics range from distributing performances by using digital tools, connecting with audiences in digital and virtual environments, and learning how to employ these tools in a way that best suits a practitioner’s personal artistic practice.

Four to six artists representing circus and/or dance from each participating country will be chosen for each of the modules. Applicants can apply for and be selected to participate in both of the modules, but they may also be chosen for only one of them.
