August 31–September 3, 2022
The international tanzmesse nrw 2022 provides a forum for discussion of dance and performance techniques in the digital environment through its digital program. The online presentations of web- and screen-based performances by Choy Ka Fai, Ligia Lewis, Robin Jonsson, Joana Chicau, and Jonathan Reus expose viewers to varied artistic uses of digital technologies. Producers, academics, artists, and curators share their experiences, projects, and inquiries with the audience in the context of lectures and conversations while providing insights into their respective research disciplines. An online platform developed by demodern makes the whole digital program and the debates from the Talk & Connect program available, allowing visitors from on- and off-site to communicate and exchange ideas using avatars.
