The National Center for Dance Bucharest (CNDB) organizes from 24-27 April a contemporary dance half-marathon at which you are invited to participate whether you are physical fit or not.
We dance for 4 days. We see 11 contemporary dance and performance shows in 4 locations.
If you want to see some of the best contemporary dance productions in Romania, you are expected at the National Center for Dance Bucharest, Linotip – Independent Choreographic Center, ARCUB and Galateca.
” Dance.Context.Showcase” presents a relevant* selection of contemporary dance and performance performances from the last years in Romania and aims to strengthen a national network of dance festivals and performing arts institutions in the country that promote contemporary dance, precisely to develop opportunities for the dissemination of dance performances. The selected performances are dedicated to the general public as well as to theater and choreographic center directors, festival organizers, curators, pedagogues, cultural managers, dance producers and representatives of European dance networks.
*More details about the open call and the jury that selected the performances can be found here.
