About Us

Croatian dance network

Since our launch in 2011, the team at NOMAD DANCE ACADEMY CROATIA brings together dance organisations and independent artists working in the field of contemporary dance and performing arts in Croatia. We are a network that aims to decentralise and strengthen the artistic, performative and educational potential of contemporary art in a wider national social context.We act as an open platform that, through a series of meetings-workshops, artistic projects, continuously considers the specific needs of the dance scene at the local level as well as at the national.We are not a firmly structured program, but a development project that focuses it's human and financial resources on strengthening those segments of the performing scene that at specific moment have the greatest potential for the wider community. Thus,we are an educational, artistic, structural and lobbying project .Key activities are developed around the idea of co creations so we developed a series of residencies where artists work on a horizontal level co-creating a performing piece. We are partners of Nomad dance academy since it’s foundation and have collaborated with them throughout the years in conceiving and implementing various projects.

We are a member of Nomad Dance Academy

Since 2005, Nomad Dance Academy is a Balkan contemporary dance network which is active in the field of dance education, artistic creation, production, as well as promotion and advocacy. Through its cultural activism, it seeks to strengthen the various creative and artistic forces in the local and national contemporary dance contexts of the Balkan region, in order to achieve the right conditions for professional, high-caliber, and exciting contemporary dance work. The partners of Nomad Dance Academy understand contemporary choreography as an artistic or social function, methodology, or practice, which deals with working conditions, the creating or producing of composing, constructing, performing, perceiving and thinking various presences, absences, or representations of the human body (in the individual or collective sense), as well as its traces, indications, and potentialities in the past, present, or future.
