STELLA (Somatic Tech Live Lab) is a long-term project, that aims to create an international cooperation and network between professionals (from the fields of performing arts, visual and media arts and technology) who work on the development of the field of movement and technology in the V4 region. There have already been a great number of collaborations between the performing arts 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. Short term goals of the project are:

  • to map this specific field of movement and technology in the V4 region,

  • to create a platform for knowledge-sharing,

  • and to create a network for future collaborations and creations.
