Nomad dance academy Croatia

NDA CRO brings together dance organisations and independent artists working in the field of contemporary dance and performing arts in Croatia. We are a network that aims to decentralise and strengthen the artistic, performative and educational potential of contemporary art in a wider national social context.We act as an open platform that, through a series of meetings-workshops, artistic projects,  continuously considers the specific needs of the dance scene at the local level as well as at the national.We are not a firmly structured program, but a development project that focuses it's human and financial resources on strengthening those segments of the performing scene that at specific moment have the greatest potential for the wider community. Thus,we are an educational, artistic, structural and lobbying project Key activities are developed around the idea of co creations so we developed a series of residencies where artists work on a horizontal level co-creating a performing piece,educational programs or small events and workshop formats.We say it is a temporary fluid collective.

The need to create new models for artistic experimentation became evident after my time at a.pass, where I took a step back to reflect on my practice. This pause allowed me to deeply question my approach to working with groups, ultimately leading to a more intentional and dynamic way of engaging with creative processes.

In NDA Croatia, I initiated Modular School—a flexible program where makers come together to exchange ideas, experiment, and collaborate with both local and international artists. This initiative fosters a space for dialogue, innovation, and cross-disciplinary exploration.
