ICC is an artist-led initiative dedicated to reimagining how choreography and dance are supported, practiced, and shared today. We are an transnational team working through collective structures and decision-making methods, committed to building sustainable and imaginative frameworks for choreographic work.
Rather than functioning as a fixed institution, ICC operates as a flexible platform that collaborates with existing organizations, spaces, and communities. We prioritize cooperation, experimentation, and care—fostering environments where choreographic labor can unfold over time. Till now we mainly operate in Sofia, Burgas (Bulgaria), Skopje (North Macedonia), Tenerife (Spain), Stockholm (Sweden), Frankfurt (Germany).

Work transnationally and locally, activating different spaces and formats depending on context and need.
Our Vision

Our Mission

Develop tools and practices for co-creating knowledge and sharing resources.
Encourage decentralized and denationalized ways of working that allow for difference, mobility, and situated practices.
Open up new ways of relating between artists, institutions, and audiences.
What We Do
Since its founding in 2020, ICC has continued to evolve in response to the urgencies, desires, and insights of its Initiator(s), Activators and Visiting/Co-dreaming participants. It remains a space-in-process—an ongoing commitment to sustaining choreographic and dancing work through collective practices, imagination, care, and collaborations.
In 2025, ICC began embracing new methods of personal initiative and curatorial responsibility within the team. This shift has meaningfully transformed how we share responsibilities, work, and benefits, deepening our commitment to distributed leadership and co-agency. During this transition, team members have engaged in multiple internal processes and activations, experimenting with ways of working together.
For the 2025–2026 program cycle, ICC is curated by Aleksandar Georgiev, beginning with the Context and Festival “You Are Not Alone”, launching in November 2025.
