Navigating the In-Between: Performative Symposium Cinedans FEST '25 

Event Timing: March 20th & 21st 2025 | 09:30 - 17:30

Navigating the In-Between invites artists, thinkers, creative technologists, funding bodies, and audiences into a shared space to explore the evolving landscape of artistic practices that exist outside traditional frameworks. Together we explore new models for funding and sustaining art that reflect our current realities and look toward more inclusive structures. We’ll rethink the audience’s role, reshape artistic research, and envision modes of production that recognize technology. Not just as a tool, but as a companion in creation. This symposium presents research from Moving Media Lab’s collectives and expands through physical activities, round tables, performances, and panel discussions to map and engage with practices that often fall “in the cracks” of existing systems, yet hold potential for transformative cultural impact. 

Moving Media Lab was initiated in 2023 by Cinedans, as its producer, and is supported by the Fund for the Creative Industries, Het Cultuurfonds, Beamsystems and A-Lab. The Partners of Moving Media Lab are DansBrabant Tilburg, Design Academy Eindhoven, Eye Filmmuseum Amsterdam, Nederlandse Dansdagen Maastricht, Korzo The Hague, and VRDays / Immersive Tech Week Rotterdam. Cinedans FEST ’25 is is supported by The Netherlands Film Fund, Stichting Dioraphte Canon and Eye Filmmuseum Amsterdam. Cinedans receives regular funding from the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts.
