Cross-Innovation with Performing Arts

In an era of rapid technological and societal change, cross-innovation between the performing arts and other sectors is gaining momentum as an important driver of research and innovation (R&I). This cross-disciplinary collaboration brings together policymakers, technologists, scientists and artists to create innovative solutions, methodologies and knowledge that extend beyond the cultural sector. The performing arts including theatre, dance, opera and immersive live experiences are uniquely positioned to contribute to innovation ecosystems due to their emphasis on real-time interaction, audience engagement and experimentation.
