Meet the #Twenty25 artists!

15 November 2024

We are delighted to announce the Aerowaves #Twenty25 artists! The 2025 line-up includes work from 17 countries and showcases an exciting and diverse selection of emerging dance makers working across Europe.

The Twenty25 artists will present their work at the Spring Forward Festival from 24 – 26 April 2025 in Gorizia and Nova Gorica (IT/SI) (European Capital of Culture) hosted by Artisti Associati.

Save the date!

The selection process took place at Primate’s Palace in Bratislava from 21 – 23 October, hosted by our partner Miroslava Kovarová and the team at Bratislava in Movement Association and supported by the Slovak Arts Council. 53 dance professionals gathered in person to discuss hundreds of dance works.

Due to an exceptional tied vote and thanks to the generosity of Artisti Associati, the Spring Forward Festival 2025 host, we have been able to include 21 artists in the selection this year. 

It is also the first time in the Aerowaves’ history that a Latvian work has been selected.
