Introduction

The fourth and final Digital Leap module, Reaching and engaging with audiences through digital means, was held in Marseille, France, on 24–28 January 2023. It was organised by ARTCENA, National Centre for Circus, Street and Theatre Arts.

The module focused on digital audience engagement and development work and explored cutting-edge digital formats. The module consisted of lectures, talks, and practical workshops on how to e-meet and engage with audiences, how to better target them, and how to adapt to emerging participative and immersive practices.

This cookbook focuses largely on three aspects: audience engagement on social media, audience engagement during the creative process, and audience engagement during digital performances. In addition, the cookbook offers tips on how to use metadata to gauge various information about your audience as well as a list of useful links and networks.

The cookbook materials are based on the contents and lessons of the module, which was curated by Fanny Bordier.
