Port of Dance

Festival suvremenog plesa Port of Dance nastao je kao nasljeđe riječkog Spring Forward Festivala koji se održao u sklopu projekta Rijeka 2020 – Europska prijestolnica kulture.

Festival nastoji riječkoj publici, uz domaću plesnu produkciju, ponuditi recentnu produkciju međunarodnih suvremenih plesnih predstava.

Uz klasične scenske nastupe, Port of Dance od 2022. godine uvodi i dio programa posvećen nastupima transponiranim u VR tehnologiju.

Značajan partner festivala je Aerowaves, plesna mreža iz čijeg se portfelja svake godine predstavljaju minimalno 3 odabrana autora.

Cilj festivala je edukacija i razvoj šire publike izvedbenih umjetnosti.
