30th Kalamata Dance Festival

The leading contemporary dance encounter in Greece, the Kalamata Dance Festival, is taking place for the 30th consecutive year from 12 to 21 July 2024. This year’s 30KDF 2024 artistic programme will feature the evolution of contemporary dance on a global scale represented by a total of 19 productions; 10 from Greece and 9 from abroad.

A rich and varied programme comprising the performances of the Main Stage, the productions of the Kalamata Dance Megaron’s Black Box, and the performances that will take place at the Kalamata Main Square. The programme will showcase dance performances that incorporate various genres, combining theatre, live music, and digital media. The Festival will welcome international artists coming from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Serbia, Spain, Italy, Slovakia, and Mozambique, who will present their works and teach professional workshops.

The 30th Kalamata Dance Festival is dedicated to the Artists of Movement, the dance artists who work with their bodies daily, confronting their limitations and exploring their inexhaustible and mysterious potential, to all who choose the challenging path of the art of dance, serving one of the oldest forms of expression in the face of time and decay. It is also dedicated to all children, teens, and young people, whether they are encountering dance for the first time, already dancing, or dreaming of stepping onto the stage one day.
