MOVIDA project launches, exploring AI and accessibility in contemporary dance
The Interactive Technologies Institute (ITI/LARSyS) is part of MOVIDA (Movement and Virtual Intelligence for the Development and Accessibility of Artists and Audiences), a new European project that started on April 1, 2026 and runs until March 31, 2029. Coordinated by Tallinn University, the project explores how Artificial Intelligence and related technologies, including Virtual and Augmented Reality and embodied AI systems, can support contemporary dance practices.
MOVIDA focuses on building capacity for artists, expanding audience engagement, and improving accessibility for people with disabilities and mental health conditions. It also addresses ethical and responsible uses of AI, including copyright, data ownership, labour, and environmental impact, through a human-centred approach.
The project brings together 11 partners across cultural organisations, academic institutions, and accessibility-focused entities in five European countries. At ITI, the project involves Filipa Correia and Nuno Correia, with Nuno Correia serving as project coordinator at Tallin University.
MOVIDA builds on previous Creative Europe projects, including MODINA (2023–2026) and Moving Digits (2018–2020), and will be developed through activities such as labs, residencies, showcases, forums, podcasts, and an online knowledge and tools hub.
