Platform 14 – Create. Perform. Connect.
Platform 14 is a yearly international dance festival for dance artists and choreographers to share their pieces in short and long formats. Invested in the diversity of dance, we offer a space for artists involved in different forms of dance to share their works with audiences and other artists in a theater setting. A space to create, perform and connect - strengthening bonds across our community.
The platform is exposing the artists for opportunities to connect, network and exchange perceptions on dance through sharing insights in performances and workshops. By bringing diverse practices and perspectives together, Platform 14 creates a shared space of encounter where dialogue, curiosity, and critical reflection meet artistic expression in the carefully curated program.
