Ever since initial explorations of digital technologies within The Value of Presenting study, digital innovation has been an area of focus in CAPACOA’s research and development activities. With each learning event and post, a community of digitally curious arts folks began to come together.
In 2016, this community gave itself name and a mission. The Digital Innovation Council for the Performing Arts is a national initiative to identify and investigate opportunities for emerging digital technologies in the performing arts. During Phase 1, the Digital Innovation Council focused on consultation and research activities which resulted in the publication of Digitizing the Performing Arts: An Assessment of Opportunities, Issues and Challenges, in April 2017.
Since November 2018, CAPACOA is moving forward with Phase 2: the Linked Digital Future initiative, a multi-component digital literacy and transformation initiative for the performing arts sector. Building upon shared metadata strategies and prototypes, the Linked Digital Future initiative seeks to evolve radically new collaboration mindsets in the arts.
