MODINA Dance and Technology Residencies 2025

MODINA is calling for duos of European-based dance artists and creative technologists for five eight-week residencies that take place between January and May 2025 in Romania, Slovenia, Estonia, Germany and Hungary.

The project MODINA (Movement, Digital Intelligence and Interactive Audience) 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. MODINA is a 3-year Creative Europe cooperation project, co-financed by the European Union.

The project is organising five residencies of eight weeks, across five performance centres: CNDB (Romania), Kino Siska (Slovenia), STL (Estonia), tanzhaus nrw (Germany), and Trafo (Hungary). These residencies will receive the mentorship from academic partners, from three universities: Hochschule Düsseldorf, Tallinn University and University of Lisbon.
