FRINGE x ilDance
A new stage and hub for contemporary dance
Contemporary dance takes centre stage at Stockholm Fringe Festival in 2027, with a dedicated dance stage and a programme curated by ilDance under the direction of Israel Aloni.
Alongside the performances, a new Dance Hub at CCAP will create space for dance artists to connect, exchange ideas and develop their work.
Dance has long been one of the most widely represented art forms within Stockholm Fringe Festival’s multidisciplinary programme. This new platform opens up further opportunities for independent dance artists and companies to present their work and become part of an international artistic community.
A stage to perform. A hub to connect.
The collaboration brings together two complementary spaces: a dedicated stage showcasing a curated programme of contemporary dance, and a Dance Hub at CCAP where artists can meet, build connections, take part in workshops and continue working on projects in development.
The three-year partnership is grounded in a shared commitment to artistic freedom: giving artists space to test ideas, develop their practice and challenge audience expectations.
The partnership will also include the 2027 premiere of a new work by ilYoung, ilDance’s youth branch, in line with Stockholm Fringe Festival’s Fringe Academy programme.
