MOVIDA has started!

Movement and Virtual Intelligence for the Development and Accessibility of Artists and Audiences, shortly MOVIDA, explores how AI and related technologies can support contemporary dance by building capacity for artists, enabling audience engagement, and improving accessibility for persons with disabilities and mental health challenges.

The three-year Creative Europe project officially started on 1 April 2026. Partners will organise labs, residencies, showcases, forums, podcasts, and develop an online knowledge & tools hub connecting artists, researchers, and audiences across Europe.

At MIREVI (Hochschule Düsseldorf), we contribute our expertise in virtual reality, interactive media, and interdisciplinary research, strengthening collaboration between artistic practice and technological innovation.

The consortium brings together 11 partners across five countries, including dance centres, academic institutions specialising in AI, and accessibility partners in mental health and disability.

MOVIDA is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.

🚀✨ Next-generation theater ✨🚀

In close collaboration with Theater an der Ruhr and KGI as part of the “Theater of Extended Realities” research project, the MIREVI team at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences is staging a world-first technical premiere:

👉 A synchronized VR multi-user solution with over 30 VR headsets and digital acting in real time—a milestone in performance technology!

🎭 “Antropka” (premiere) combines live acting, VR/AR, and film: You sit in the middle of a 360° green screen stage—reality and virtuality merge. In the spaceship Antropka, AI “Momi” rules over all life. But order is disrupted when a male embryo is born... control turns into a state of emergency.

📅 Premiere: Fri, Aug. 29, 7:30 p.m.
📅 Additional performance: Sun, Aug. 31, 7 p.m.

Sponsor: Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia as part of NEUE WEGE in cooperation with the NRW KULTURsekretariat.
