MOVIDA

Summary

MOVIDA is a European project running from April 2026 to March 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. It focuses on building capacity for artists, expanding audience engagement, and improving accessibility for people with disabilities and mental health conditions. MOVIDA also addresses ethical and responsible uses of AI, including questions of copyright, data ownership, labour, and environmental impact, through a human-centred approach.

The consortium brings together 11 partners across five countries, including dance institutions, academic organisations, and accessibility-focused partners. Academic partners include Interactive Technologies Institute, where the project involves Filipa Correia and Nuno Correia, with Nuno Correia serving as project coordinator. MOVIDA builds on previous Creative Europe projects, including MODINA (2023–2026) and Moving Digits (2018–2020), and will develop its activities through labs, residencies, showcases, forums, podcasts, and an online knowledge and tools hub.
