08. Digital Choreographic Data: Best Practices on XSTAGE

Choreographic data is circulating in the digital environment, providing new opportunities for creators. However, this presents new challenges when creators' rights are not properly protected and revenue structures are unclear. danstruct's XSTAGE is a platform for choreographers to solve the problems of the digital age, distribute their work securely, and receive fair compensation.

Challenges and Opportunities for Choreographic Data Distribution in the Digital Environment

Choreographic data can be consumed in a variety of digital formats

• Gaming and Metaverse: realized through the movements of digital avatars and the dance of game characters.
• Social media and streaming: spread in the form of challenges on YouTube and TikTok.
• Digital capitalization: publishing and selling choreographic data in the form of NFTs.

As these methods of consumption become more prevalent, creators face two major challenges.

uncertainty of copyright protection

The risk of unauthorized use through digital distribution is increasing.

Choreographies are altered or mixed with other creative works, making it difficult to prove original authorship.

uncertain revenue distribution

The structure of digital platforms continues to prevent the fair distribution of revenues to creators.

When creators lack bargaining power, platforms and production companies end up taking the lion's share of revenues.
