Dance Hack: Muziek, Dans & Technologie Festival

A unique program as we can expect from Splendor composer Luke Deane. Join this international mini-festival, Dance Hack, which has already had editions in San Francisco and London. Expect collaborations between musicians, dancers, and digital artists. A wandering festival-in-a-day feeling with presentations and short open lectures in the attic.

DanceHack is an annual gathering of musicians, dancers, choreographers, technologists, coders, and other like-minded individuals with the primary goal of exploring and creating new possibilities at the intersection of dance and technology. This year's theme is: A Body of Work. Although the hack will be open to all ideas this year, the primary focus will be on what makes dance so special: the human and their body/mind/feeling/spirit, engaging and expressing with others and the world through sensorially attuned movement.

What does it mean to be a body that dances in a rapidly changing technological world? Can we develop practices that emphasize healthy, sensible approaches to integrating dance and technology? Can we deepen our ability to use the tools we invent rather than focusing on constantly inventing for the sake of invention itself? What is simplifying instead of making more complex?

Dance Hack is co-organized by:
Maarten van der Glas - visual artist, software developer for art and culture, with a strong affinity for dance
Zsolt Szederkényi - photographer & filmmaker, urban dancer, teacher, and organizer

We invite: dancers, musicians, visual artists, and software makers.
