Cross-Innovation with Performing Arts

In an era of rapid technological and societal change, cross-innovation between the performing arts and other sectors is gathering 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, which include theatre, dance, opera, and immersive live experiences, are in a unique position to contribute to innovation ecosystems because of their emphasis on real-time interaction, audience engagement, and experimentation.
