The line-up for IJAD Dance's Open Online Theatre Festival of live hybrid performing arts: OOTFest25 (UN)SEEN, will take place at Riverside Studios in London and online on Open Online Theatre from Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 June 2025.
OOTFest25 (UN)SEEN "blurs boundaries and mixes realities, merges dimensions and plays with perception, shifting the dynamic between artist and audience." Artists and creative technologists "explore embodiment, touch, and presence—through movement, XR, MR, AI and machine learning."
A programme of live hybrid performances, interactive workshops, panel discussions and installations will be live-streamed from Riverside Studios in London on IJAD Dance’s Open Online Theatre streaming platform.
Joumana Mourad, Artistic Director of IJAD Dance, said, “now is the perfect time to reimagine our performance field and touring model—to understand, embrace and harness new technologies. At IJAD Dance, we believe in the power of creativity and technology to redefine the future of performance, future-proof the arts and transform audience engagement. OOTFest25 (UN)SEEN is a space for artists to experiment, innovate and bring the unseen to life—connecting with audiences in ways never before possible.”
