About platformONE
idance originally created platformONE in 2008. The core concept of this event is not a typical showcase but “a competition of ideas” where the vision and creativity of the choreographer take center stage.
This format uniquely provides a platform for urban and theatrical dance choreographers to express their creativity and develop their choreographic skill with almost the complete absence of rules, requirements, or choreographic restriction.
