Dance in Quebec: Boosting the Discoverability of Digital Content

October 26, 2018 - November 14, 2019
Production

The project Dance in Quebec: Boosting the Discoverability of Digital Content aimed to promote the discoverability of dance works and artists, and to develop digital literacy and skills within the dance community.

Consultant Josée Plamondon, who specializes in data retrieval systems, helped us build our digital expertise in order to further showcase Quebec’s contemporary choreographic works.

The Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault helped to develop and run the project in tandem with the dance community, using its website as a knowledge-sharing space, with blogs and short videos on topics such as metadata, open data and discoverability. 

Our thanks to the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec for supporting this initiative as part of its Exploration et déploiement numérique program.
