In 2026, Studio ALTA is taking part in a residency exchange with the Croatian Zagreb Dance Centre — as part of this collaboration, artists Nastasja Štefanić Kralj and Nikolina Rafaj will be visiting Prague.

Zagreb Dance Center is the central space for contemporary dance in Croatia and shares the values and mission of Studio ALTA. It supports domestic and foreign dance artists in their creation, and by encouraging the strengthening of the dynamic dance scene, plays an important cultural and educational role. In addition to providing artists with adequate working and performance conditions, the main tasks of the Zagreb Dance Center are the programming of highly professional dance performances through repeat performances, encouraging new trends in artistic production, achieving cooperation at the local, national and international levels, strengthening the interaction between the dance scene and the cultural public, educating young audience and a better integration of dance art into the broader layers of society. It provides support to various innovative initiatives of the contemporary dance scene, advocating the diversity and plurality of author’s visions, and motivates artists, the audience and all interested members of the public to jointly research and reflect on choreographic and other dance concepts. The program focuses on co-productions of plays, residency programs, reprise programs, guest appearances, training programs for dance artists through morning trainings and workshops, international cooperation and exchange, audience development programs, educational programs for all interested parties and other additional programs in the field of contemporary dance art.

We believe this international exchange will be a valuable experience for both institutions. ❤️ Details about the programme are coming soon.
