Dear guests

It is with great joy and anticipation that we welcome you to the Choreographic Platform Austria 2025. We are honored that after its successful relaunch two years ago in Vienna and St. Pölten, the CPA will now take place in Salzburg. This biennial event provides an important forum for the diverse choreographic work being created in Austria, with a program aimed not only at the general public but especially at international and national experts. The CPA thus serves as a vital network connecting artists and presenters, fostering professional exchange, and paving the way for future collaborations and sustainable artistic partnerships throughout Europe.

From November 20th to 22nd, the CPA will present eleven productions whose thematic, stylistic, and aesthetic positions persuaded the jury out of 175 submissions to the open call. These live presentations will be complemented by eight pitching sessions and a varied supporting program from the local community, which has been a driving force for dance and performance in Salzburg for many years.

The CPA 2025 looks forward to three days together in Salzburg, showcasing the choreographic potential of artists living in Austria, sparking dialogue, facilitating encounters, and making the present moment of dance tangible.

Be there as stages and spaces come alive, as ideas collide and networks grow. We wish all the artists and the audience an inspiring time in Salzburg.

The CPA Board & the CPA Team
