The Digital Dramaturgy Lab (DDL), founded in April 2012 by Professor Antje Budde and Professor Don Sinclair, is a creative research initiative of artists, scholars, scientists, technicians, programmers/software developers and students.

- interactive strategies between performers and audiences
- multidisciplinary creative interaction and creation between artists, scholars, programmers, designers
- in-betweeness, reality, virtuality, queerness, multi-dimensionality
