DIGITAL ON STAGE
Unleashing the Performing Arts Experience through Digital Innovation
Where the scene comes to you virtually
Digital on Stage is a medium-scale European cooperation project in which we are a partner, funded by the Creative Europe program for the period 2024-2027.
Digital on Stage promotes the development of digital performing arts through productive support to 24 performance projects, training and capacity building actions for professionals in the field, and networking activities.
Six project partners together with CapoTrave/Kilowatt: Intercult (SE), lead partner, Cultuurconnect (BE), CUBE Non-Profit Organization (GR), KID KIBLA (SI), MMMAD Festival (ES).
DOS’s mission:
– lead the digital transformation of the performing arts sector in Europe;
– facilitate the development of expertise on digital technologies;
– provide funding and support for digital productions and emerging digital artists;
– foster the collaboration and networking among artists, performing arts venues, and programmers;
– make performing arts more accessible through innovative digital solutions.
The digital realm – a guide-book to good practices
The project partners have produced a guide-book entitled, The Digital Realm, which identifies good practices that experiment with or reflect on the use of new technologies in the contemporary scene and introduces them through short presentations.
The handbook brings together, as a source of inspiration, 120 recent examples of the application of technologies such as AR, VR, AI, and digital tools in the performing arts, collected through various methodologies. Each partner conducted research using knowledge of the field in their country and asking the chosen entities to describe their practices in their own words. The results of this research form the main part of the guide.
Mobility for the co-development of cultural and creative ideas
There is time until Friday, April 4, to participate in the international mobility program sponsored by Digital on Stage.
A valuable training and networking opportunity for 10 artists/performers to learn more about the possibilities offered by new technological developments in the performing arts.
The program will be held at the KIBLA Multimedia Center in Maribor, Slovenia, from June 29 to July 12, 2025, with the possibility of participating in the first week of work (29.06-5.07) or the second (6.07-12.07).
The 10 selected artist(s) (5 for the first week and 5 for the second) will be given a gross grant of €1,000 to support the costs of travel, meals and accommodation.
Next project steps:
The Handbook on Digital Performing Arts.
60 tutorials and 60 methodologies in a comprehensive handbook based on applications of technologies in the performing arts.
Immersive workshops.
5 workshops on the use of VR, AR and AI will be organized by each partner (30 in total).
