With the funding program tanz digital, dance artists, dance ensembles and dance institutions (including dance and theater houses, venues, archives, dance schools, mediation formats and participatory projects) were strengthened in the medial presentation of artistic productions.
Many initiatives and projects showed that there is great potential for visibility and innovation in artistic-media productions, e.g., in new recording techniques, specific choreographies, narrative modes, and new perspectives on stage events, or in productions and forms of presentation created specifically for the online world.
The goals of tanz digital were the development of innovative choreographic/artistic formats and the testing of 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 was 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 were promoted.
