Festivals

The platform is an event, curated by three Baltic states, where Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian new dance works are presented, and artists meet with performing art experts from all around the world.

The first Baltic Dance Platform took place in 2019 in Vilnius, and the second one will be held on 19th-21st May 2022 in Tallinn, Estonia.

Baltic Dance Platform is an initiative started at the end of 2018 by three Baltic countries’ dance organisations: Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava / STL, Lithuanian Dance Information Centre and Latvian Dance Information Centre. The aim was to promote Baltic contemporary dance internationally, create a stronger collective international presence of the Baltic contemporary dance scene. The Platform carries out its aims through different activities like everyday networking, a biannual 3-days showcase festival and representation in international gatherings for professionals in the field of contemporary dance.

This is to enable a stronger collective international presence of the Baltic Dance scene as we have created possibilities to ease artistic and organisational collaboration, a dissemination of information and stimulate new joint initiatives between Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian dance communities.
