Where the scene comes to you virtually<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

Digital on Stage <\/strong>is a medium-scale European cooperation project in which we are a partner, funded by the Creative Europe program for the period 2024-2027.<\/p>

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.\u00a0<\/p>

Six project partners together with CapoTrave\/Kilowatt: Intercult (SE), lead partner, Cultuurconnect (BE), CUBE Non-Profit Organization (GR), KID KIBLA (SI), MMMAD Festival (ES).<\/p>

DOS’s mission:<\/p>

– lead the digital transformation of the performing arts sector in Europe;<\/p>

– facilitate the development of expertise on digital technologies;<\/p>

– provide funding and support for digital productions and emerging digital artists;<\/p>

– foster the collaboration and networking among artists, performing arts venues, and programmers;<\/p>

– make performing arts more accessible through innovative digital solutions.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

The digital realm – a guide-book to good practices<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

The project partners have produced a guide-book entitled, The Digital Realm<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Handbook on Digital Performing Arts: The Transformation of the Performing Arts<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

This handbook is the continuation of the guide \u201cThe Digital Realm\u201d<\/em> and consists of 60 video tutorials, each accompanied by a corresponding manual or user guide, which trainers can use to implement their workshops. The 120 resources are each linked to their own QR code. The partners of Digital On Stage<\/em> present several digital tools (such as VR, AR, AI), applicable to the performing arts, through handouts, methodologies (educational materials, teaching methods), and video tutorials.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mobility for the co-development of cultural and creative ideas<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

The\u00a0DIGITAL on STAGE Mobility Programme<\/strong>\u00a0in Maribor brought together a vibrant community of artists, cultural professionals, and digital innovators from across Europe, for two intensive weeks of learning, experimenting and co-creating.<\/p>

Part of the three-year Creative Europe project\u00a0DIGITAL on STAGE\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(Project ID: 101173738), this initiative aimed to reimagine the performing arts through the integration of cutting-edge digital tools. In response to the post-pandemic shift toward hybrid and virtual experiences, the programme focuses on equipping artists with skills in\u00a0Virtual Reality (VR)<\/strong>,\u00a0Augmented Reality (AR)<\/strong>,\u00a0Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/strong>,\u00a0robotics<\/strong>,\u00a0interactive installations<\/strong>, and\u00a0streaming platforms<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 turning technology from a backstage assistant into a central character in performance.<\/p>

A Week of Immersion<\/strong><\/p>

Over five working days, for two consecutive weeks, participants engaged in lectures, workshops, design-thinking sessions, and hands-on labs guided by international mentors. Topics ranged from blending physical and virtual realities, AI-enhanced choreography and scenography, and building immersive 3D worlds, to multimedia performative installations and streaming as a creative tool.<\/p>

The sessions combined theory with practical application, encouraging artists to design, test, and showcase ideas that blur the lines between performer and audience, reality and simulation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
