The concept of STELLA (Somatic Tech Live Lab) was created by Ziggurat Project with the aim of launching a long-term cooperation in the V4 region in the field of movement and technology.
There has been already a number of collaborations between the performing art and the technology sector, and we are experiencing a growing need to set up a platform where professionals of those different sectors can meet, share their knowledge and network.
