Celebrating diversity in dance

This year’s platform welcomes work from The Netherlands, England, Spain, and of course, Scotland. For over a decade, Innovations continues to provide a platform for new dance work championing bold ideas, choreographic innovations and space for artists to realise the full potential of their work.

The platform celebrates diversity in dance and the artistic voices of the dance sector. Each year Innovations shines a spotlight on industry talent, vision and artistic experimentation. Join us at the Studio Theatre this November to experience the hottest night of dance in Edinburgh.

Innovations 2025 programme includes:
Jack Webb Dance (Scotland), Mariona Vinyes Ràfols (The Netherlands), Jessica Castellón & Boris Orihuela (Spain), Salvatore De Simone (England) and Dorine Mwesiga (Scotland/Tanzania).

Innovations Dance Platform is independently curated and produced by Dance Horizons, Edinburgh.
