Module 4: Here are the selected participants!

In the joint call for artists for the third and fourth Digital Leap learning modules we received more than 80 applications from all partner countries. For the fourth module we welcomed applications from producers working with dance and circus as well. Final selections were made by the partner organizations.

The selected participants had demonstrated clear learning goals in their applications and showed strong motivation to learn more about the topics of the modules. We aimed at selecting participants of different ages and career stages, with enough common ground to ensure mutually fruitful sharing of practices and experience. We strived for a balance between circus and dance artists. For the fourth module we selected almost thirty participants, who will head to Marseille in late January.

Module 4 – Reaching and engaging with audiences through digital means

The module focuses on the key topic of audience engagement and development work, while exploring cutting-edge digital formats. Circus and dance workers (artists and producers alike) will discover through various artistic approaches of artists, researchers and cultural operators based in Marseille how to engage with their audience. It will be a great opportunity to learn and test through concrete study cases, participative and immersive digital practices. The workshop which will take place in the frame of BIAC (Biennale internationale des arts du cirque) in Marseille, will also address the topic of audiences from an ethical perspective, by touching upon various aspects of diversity and inclusion.
