Overview

In 1993, Susan Quinn's vision was to create SEAD as a centre for training contemporary dancers and choreographers as well as a vibrant space that provides 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. 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, teens and children, and organises various events in the field of contemporary dance and performance art.
