OULU DANCE HACK SUMMIT is a 5-day werkstatt that takes place from Monday 23rd – Friday 27th November 2026, bringing together dancers, designers, musicians, technologists, etc to share their practice and explore the intersection of dance and technology in a safe and supportive environment. Each day will start with morning sessions where people share their techniques with the team. The afternoon is focused around free exploration sessions where we get creative and collaborate on testing ideas and creating sketches.
OULU FESTIVAL OF AUGMENTED DANCE is Wednesday 25th – Saturday 28th November 2026. We will curate a programme of evening performances – either 2 or 3 shorter pieces in a night, or a longer, larger-scale performance. Each performance should have a focus on the integration of dance and technology.
We are inviting the Dancehacker community to submit ideas for workshops/presentations and/or performances for the festival. You can submit ideas until the end of August 2025.
