Part of the project is an artistic residency at STUDIO2 for dance artists who are already familiar with video annotation tools such as Motion Bank's Post Annotator. This enables open-ended artistic research on a self-chosen topic, which includes the examination, use and evaluation of the Post Annotator system.
The "Kulturerbe Tanz" program is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. It is carried by the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland.
