SEAD is one of Europe's leading centers for contemporary dance. Home of creativity & experimentation.
In 1993, Susan Quinn's vision was to create SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance) as a centre for training contemporary dancers and choreographers as well as a vibrant space that provides the 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 and children (follow https://www.facebook.com/SEADtanzkurse), and organises various events in the field of contemporary dance and performance art.

In 1993, Susan Quinn's vision was to create SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance) as a centre for training contemporary dancers and choreographers as well as a vibrant space that provides the 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.
Today, SEAD is a well-known academy with more than 100 international students from over 30 countries who can attend different educational programs: the four year undergraduate-program was recognized as university-level studies in 2001, the postgraduate-programs BODHI PROJECT (for dancers) and I.C.E. (for choreographers) were incorporated to the school-system in 2008; and the one year dance intensive FIRE year was established in 2018.
Since 2008, SEAD is home-base and residency for the internationally touring repertory-company BODHI PROJECT, since 2018 part of the blackmountain non-profit organization.
SEAD is a vibrant 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 kids, and organizes various events in the field of contemporary dance and performance art to enrich the cultural scene in Salzburg.
