Oktoberdans will make Bergen explode with performing arts, workshops, festivities and a hard-hitting discursive program. Through 10 days and a large program with performances, social and academic events, we delve into national and international movements in contemporary dance.

The festival summons some of the most progressive characters from the dance field around the world, and is a prominent arena for new and established artists, curators, producers, academics and public commentators. We warmly invite visiting and local audiences to this year's festival –which aims to make Bergen the most contemporary place north of the equator for ten days in October.

Main venues: USF Verftet, Studio Bergen, Hordaland Kunstsenter
