Hey all,

since 2013 our dance research project “[Motion Bank](http://motionbank.org/)” has been organising “[Choreographic Coding Labs](http://choreographiccoding.org/)” (CCLs). The format … »offers unique opportunities of exchange and collaboration for digital media artists (you 😀) who have an interest in translating aspects of choreography and dance into digital form and applying choreographic thinking to their own practice.« To illustrate what we mean here is a short documentation from our CCL in NYC in 2015:

The upcoming edition is very special as it is A) happening in Mainz, Germany, where the Motion Bank project [is now based](https://medium.com/motion-bank/motion-bank-at-hochschule-mainz-c89ef4a61643) and B) is part of a larger funded (by [Kulturstiftung des Bundes](https://kulturstiftung-des-bundes.de/cms/en/index.html)) cooperation of Motion Bank, [Kunsthalle Mainz](http://kunsthalle-mainz.de/) and [Staatstheater Mainz](http://www.staatstheater-mainz.com/web/home_tanzmainz). The collaboration, which is called “Between Us”, deals with the exchange and transformation of knowledge from and between the participating disciplines: art, dance and science. Not only will the CCL mark the starting point of the collaboration and creation of a new dance piece by Finnish choreographer Taneli Törmä, it will also inform the process of exchange between all participating artists.
