Springdance was the platform in the Netherlands for new developments in international contemporary dance and performance. Every year the Springdance brought a world of current international dance to the city of Utrecht in a two-week long festival of events, performances, discussions and education projects.
Many of the young artists featured in the festival were supported through the international development program, Springdance/dialogue, or presented new work co-produced by Springdance/works. Springdance also ran an ongoing program of production residencies and creative community projects in the city of Utrecht.
