State of the art

Cultural audiences increasingly demand active participation in culture rather than passive consumption. Audience building activities demand their active involvement in curatorial and creative decision-making processes. To this end, on-line environments provide a great platform.

Description of the project

DanceME UP will enable European dance organizations to explore new models and concepts of participation, accessibility, interaction and social cohesion. The project’s core is to produce dance performances and video-dance products through an on-line tool, the DanceMe app. Workshops on movement, creativity and digital cultures are being organized, contributing to the development of participants’ digital skills. The project focuses on the interaction between creative processes and new approaches to the choreographic creation, including the most advanced theories of participatory creation. They will facilitate a virtuous creative process where artists, audiences and cultural professionals are empowered to interact among themselve.

The active participation of audiences provides artists with useful inputs in the support of their creative work. The concept of distributed creativity plays here a key role.

Creative Europe’s support

The priorities of the Creative Europe programme helped project partnes to focus on the needs of the cultural sectors in terms of digitization, mobility and skills development.

Beyond Digitalisation

The project explores new forms of “Virtual mobility”. While exploring new creative processes, it clearly reduces the project’s environmental impact.
