Research
Enhancing Performing Arts with Digital Innovation
Exploring digital technologies as a creative and analytical means for the performing arts is the driver of the Premiere research. How can the performing arts integrate cutting-edge technologies in a practical and meaningful way? In this page we explain the tools we are creating for the different domains of the performing practice, from creation to preservation.
We aim at making the results of the project accessible and reusable by the research community and the cultural and creative industries.

A platform for scientists to understand artistic needs and artists to understand what are the possibilities that science and technology can provide.
Interdisciplinarity
Premiere is conducting interdisciplinary and practice driven research on the application of AI, XR and 3D technologies in the performing arts to explore their intersection and open the path for institutions and creators to extend their methodologies and tools.
Situated innovation
The possibilities that open up through the development and testing of digital technologies in the performing arts practice have to do with several creative domains:
- The artistic conception and creation with digital expressive means.
- The connection and interaction in virtual environments.
- The documentation and mediation of the digital archive.
Reflexivity
The project is also a space to think about the transformation of the performing arts and negotiate the methodologies and discourses related to the use of digital tools, advocating for an approach driven by the artistic practice and facilitated by the technological knowledge.
