Create. Perform. Connect.
Platform 14 is a yearly dance event for emerging dance artists and choreographers to share their short pieces and works in progress. 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 and network - through sharing insights in performances and workshops to exchange perceptions on dance and learn new and guided ways to advance the artists work and visions.
We are creating a safe and inspiring environment for artists to get to know each other, network over food and dance and exchange artistic views with each other and audiences, while sharing the stage together.
