Innovations was born from a vision to ignite a revolution of creativity within the realm of contemporary dance. Our mission is simple yet profound: to unlock doors for dance artists and companies of all backgrounds, providing a vibrant stage for their artistic expression to reach new horizons. Past participants of Innovations have acknowledged the platform as a pivotal moment in their artistic journey, using it as a springboard to secure further opportunities, funding, and recognition. We take pride in fostering a supportive community where collaboration thrives and artistic ambitions can be realised.
Since its inception in 2014, Innovations has blossomed into a dynamic and inclusive platform, driven by the core values of creativity, diversity, and artistic excellence. We stand as a beacon of opportunity, offering a nurturing environment where emerging talents and established artists alike can showcase their innovative works to diverse audiences.
