FAQs

  • What is the goal of tanz:digital?

    What is the goal of tanz:digital?

    Dance artists, dance ensembles and dance institutions are to be strengthened in the media presentation of artistic productions. The aim is to develop innovative choreographic/artistic formats and to test new recording and production formats (e.g. working with bodycams, 3D and 360o recording techniques, VR and AR applications, streaming and video-on-demand productions, format development for social networks and gaming).

    On the one hand, the call is intended to promote innovative approaches that experiment with new formats and technologies. On the other hand, the application and transformation of already proven formats for work with a larger ensemble and for a large audience is also to be promoted.
