Tampere Dance Current Contemporary Dance Festival

The Tampere Dance Current Festival is a 6-day event that brings together the nation’s top talents and offers an excellent view of the current contemporary dance scene.

First held in 1997 and taking place every May, the festival is a remarkable showcase of outstanding productions, dance short films and street performances. As an extension of the official program, the well-received “Afterheat” post-show discussions provide an eye-opening platform for festival attendees as they get to share their thoughts on each night’s performance with the makers.

The festival is produced by Dance Theatre MD and the main venue of the festival is MD’s home stage Hällä in the heart of Tampere.
