Innovations was born from a vision to ignite a revolution of creativity within the realm of contemporary dance. Our mission is simple yet profound: to unlock doors for dance artists and companies of all backgrounds, providing a vibrant stage for their artistic expression to reach new horizons. Past participants of Innovations have acknowledged the platform as a pivotal moment in their artistic journey, using it as a springboard to secure further opportunities, funding, and recognition. We take pride in fostering a supportive community where collaboration thrives and artistic ambitions can be realised. .

Since its inception in 2014, Innovations has blossomed into a dynamic and inclusive platform, driven by the core values of creativity, diversity, and artistic excellence. We stand as a beacon of opportunity, offering a nurturing environment where emerging talents and established artists alike can showcase their innovative works to diverse audiences.

Driven by artist-led collaboration, Innovations has evolved into a beacon of creativity, expanding its reach beyond Edinburgh to cities such as Leicester, Chester, and London.

Innovations Platform is independently produced by Dance Horizons, an Edinburgh based Creative Producing organisation. Find out more about our work at dancehorizons.co.uk
