Cloud Dance Festival is a contemporary dance platform which not only aims to showcase the work of promising and exciting choreographers, but also seeks to nurture and support them through their creation process and with their professional development.
Founded in 2007, we have presented works by over 150 choreographers and companies in 14 festivals, including many who have since gone on to become leading emerging and midscale artists.
We continue to explore the different avenues of support needed by professional artists and seek ways to provide this support, either independently or in partnership with other support organisations.
