ESC: Volunteering at SEAD

SEAD Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance is a renowned dance academy, training future contemporary dancers and choreographers. It is an international cultural institution-independent, contemporary and experimental. The dance center is a vibrant space that educates not only contemporary dancers and choreographers, but gives insight to the world of dance to children, youth and adults. Founded by Susan Quinn in 1995, the curriculum of SEAD rests on the philosophical position that making art engenders knowledge. The premise that learning is by doing, thinking is by making, dictates the structures of SEAD's classes and requirements. With a faculty that rotates throughout the year, SEAD provides students with opportunities to work with innovative artists from around the world, as well as to choreograph and present their work, to teach in the public adult and children's education program offered by the house, to perform in and outside school, to participate in exchange programs abroad and to create and make life long contacts.
