About the Festival:
The main focus of the European Festival of Contemporary Dance is to offer a platform for presentation of dance works from young artists resident to EU; to provoke a discussion and exchange of ideas between artists and dancegoers, artists and dance writers, and between artists themselves in a particular situation provided by postindustrial environment of Silesia and juxtaposed with historic architecture of the city of Krakow. The European Festival of Contemporary Dance emerges as an integral part of the Annual International Contemporary Dance Conference and Performance Festival in Bytom http://www.conference.stt.art.pl/?p=309
