Navigating the In-Between: A Performative Symposium Cinedans
Tolhuistuin invites Cinedans FEST 2025. Cinedans FEST is a celebration of daring, beautiful and fascinating dance films! Navigating the In-Between invites artists, thinkers, creative technologists, funding bodies, and audiences into a shared space to explore the evolving landscape of artistic practices that exist outside traditional frameworks. More info here.
Together we explore new models for funding and sustaining art that reflect our current realities and look toward more inclusive structures. We’ll rethink the audience’s role, reshape artistic research, and envision modes of production that recognize technology. Not just as a tool, but as a companion in creation. This symposium presents research from Moving Media Lab’s collectives and expands through physical activities, round tables, performances, and panel discussions to map and engage with practices that often fall “in the cracks” of existing systems, yet hold potential for transformative cultural impact.
