The tenth OULU DANCE HACK will take place in Cultural Centre Valve from 19th – 23rd May 2025. TaikaBox has recruited a team of participants to join us in exploring the relationship between dance and technology. Applications were invited from dancers, choreographers, musicians, coders, media artists, designers, engineers and any professionals who work with technology and the moving body.
We are currently looking for tech businesses to collaborate on the project. More info here.
ODHX is a special edition of Oulu Dance Hack, focusing on participants living in the Nordic and Baltic region, in preparation for increased activity during 2026 when Oulu becomes a European Capital of Culture.
ODH is a carbon-neutral project. All participants who travel to Oulu must use train/ferry/bus – no air travel is involved. TaikaBox will cover travel and accommodation costs.
The Dance Hack method is all about collaborating on new ideas. It is not a platform for showcasing readymade work, but a safe space for collective experimentation. It focuses on improvisation and communication and aims to provide participants with inspiration and new skills for incorporating dance and technology into their practice. It’s also a great networking opportunity.
ODHX is supported by Oulu2026 – European Capital of Culture, Oulu City and Taike – Arts Promotion Centre of Finland.
