PLATFORM 14

PLATFORM 14 is an annual international dance festival that celebrates the diversity of dance and dissolves traditional boundaries between genres and forms. Contemporary, experimental, and urban dance-inspired pieces stand side by side on equal footing within a carefully curated programme.

This year's edition brings together works that move between intimacy and community, exploring themes of identity, memory, and mindfulness, as well as the shifting dynamics of our contemporary world. From poetic reflections on current events and social structures to physical explorations of belonging, transformation, and resistance, the programme unfolds as a multilayered dialogue between different experiences and perspectives.

Across three evenings, spaces emerge for encounters where vulnerability, humour, and tension, dialogue, curiosity, and critical reflection find artistic expression. This year, PLATFORM 14 opens with an Alumni Night: as part of an internal selection, three groups from last year's Open Call return and present themselves with new, extended pieces.
