The newest edition of the Choreographic Coding Lab will take place from 4–9 January 2027 at AHK IDlab in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in collaboration with ICK Dans Amsterdam, AHK IDlab, the HAMLET EU Project, ZhDK, and Instituto Stocos.

The Choreographic Coding Lab format by Motion Bank offers opportunities for exchange and collaboration for digital media artists, designers and creative coders who have an interest in translating aspects of choreography and dance into digital form. It is also an opportunity for dancers, choreographers and researchers in related fields to engage with questions arising from the use of technology in the field of dance.

In a five-day interdisciplinary peer-to-peer setting, the participants work on their own projects, share knowledge and discuss ideas. Results from the week might range from prototypes for artworks to new tools for working with dance-related datasets and new choreographic processes at intersections between the physical and the digital. The Choreographic Coding Lab will be a collaboration with ICK Dans Amsterdam, AHK IDlab, the EU Project HAMLET, Instituto Stocos and ZHdK.

Lab facilitators Daniel Bisig and Suzan Tunca will bring in new performing arts technologies to experiment with: two AI Enablers currently in development in the EU Project HAMLET (Dance Style Analysis and Generation Enabler and Music-to-Movement Enabler), the AI Toolbox developed by Instituto Stocos in the Premiere EU Project, and choreographic research input from the ICK Academy and related artists.
