About
Reykjavik Dance Festival is an international centre for choreographic practices in Iceland - seeking to curate an all year round conversation with its audiences – through the artists we present, support and produce. Founded in 2002, RDF's central activity has always been its international festival which now takes place in November. Since 2014 however, RDF has extended its activities – to include national and international initiatives throughout the year in the form of mini-festival formats, workshops, and residencies.
Every year RDF collaborates with Reykjavík’s main cultural institutions, such as the Iceland University of the Arts, Dansverkstæðið – research and residency centre for the performing arts, Iðnó Culture House, Tjarnarbíó Theatre, the National Theatre and the City Theatre to name a few.
Since 2016 Reykjavík Dance Festival has been a partner of the European network apap – advancing performing arts project and is also a member of the Nordic Residency Exchange Programme. Reykjavík Dance Festival is a presenting partner of Aerowaves.
Reykjavík Dance Festival offers year round support for local and international artists working within the field of contemporary dance and choreography. This support happens through co-productions, presentation and annual residencies in collaboration with the research and residency centre Dansverkstæðið - https://en.dansverkstaedid.com/ Reykjavík Dance Festival has long term support from the Ministry of Culture and Business Affairs in Iceland and the municipality of Reykjavík where they were selected as a City Festival from 2023-2025.
