SEAD Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance

In 1993, Susan Quinn's vision was to create SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance) as a centre for training contemporary dancers and choreographers as well as a vibrant space that provides the public performances and education in contemporary dance art. At that time SEAD became one of the first places to offer professional-caliber training for contemporary artists in Austria. SEAD today is an accredited academy with more than 120 international students. In 2001, SEAD's professional training program was honored with the recognition from the Austrian Government as a program of university equivalency. SEAD is a meeting point for experimental collaborations, residencies, and performances. As a cultural space open for the general public SEAD offers an educational program for adults and children (follow https://www.facebook.com/kidsteensadultsinsead/), and organises various events in the field of contemporary dance and performance art.
