Apps4festivals: sustainable mobile apps for art festivals -ImsPulsTanz Festival App

[Marlon Barrios Solano]

 Apps4festivals is conceived as a sustainable model for development of  mobile apps for art festivals and cultural events.

A mobile app was developed for ImPulsTanz 2014- 2015 (Vienna, Austria)  and Tanz Im August 2014-2015 (Berlin, Germany) with features specially geared to facilitate an  effective event guide, audience engagement  and community interaction around the festival activities.

The app is customizable to showcase the events with rich multimedia features, adaptive event branding, personalized events calendars, interactive geolocated maps, push notification, content management system, comprehensive stats and in app social networking spaces.The app connects with main social media platforms.

The support from ImPulstanz Festival 2014/15  and Tanz Im August 2014/15 have been crucial for the research and development of the scaffolding, framework and  suitable design for complex events that combine performances, workshops, master classes and spacial formats.

After these two prototypes, the app is available to other events for further usage and development for a sustainable fee to cover the specific customizations and content management for the new event.

The dance-tech apps4estivals is a project conceived by Marlon Barrios Solano.
