Julidans
Julidans, the international festival of contemporary dance, is internationally renowned for its unusual and daring dance programming. The festival likes to look across borders. Literally: to dance makers from other countries and (dance) cultures. And figuratively: to different approaches to dance. Besides the great masters, Julidans presents new, promising choreographers and gives them the opportunity to show their work for the first time on the big stage. Julidans also makes way for dance makers who are on the verge of an (international) breakthrough. In them we see the new icons of dance.
