About us
CORA Dance Festival represents an important meeting point for contemporary dance and performing arts in the city of Taranto. International and local artists come together to explore new expressive possibilities and deepen their individual and collective research.
Through masterclasses and workshops, participants can immerse themselves in a training path that embraces the different aspects of contemporary performance, developing new creations under the direction of renowned choreographers. Performance projects are the culmination of this process, offering the public the opportunity to witness innovative works that are the result of continuous research.

The festival, whose acronym stands for Contemporary On-stage Research Art, embodies the mission of promoting an experimental and interdisciplinary vision of the performing arts, challenging the traditional boundaries of the scene.
