In recent years, the Austrian dance and performance scene has become an unmistakable international trademark attracting interest among the public, critics, and organisers far and wide. This special attention is owed to a notable development in terms of structure and quality that has not yet reached its end: Numerous international artists are still relocating to Austria, contributing to local scenes and profiting from them.

The Choreographic Platform Austria (CPA) reflects this development by presenting outstanding positions on the Austrian dance and performance landscape, at the same time ensuring continuity by drawing attention to upcoming generations of artists. In a series of guest performances, the CPA marshals the best representatives of this scene, promoting and marketing current pieces far beyond the borders of Austria.

In 2009, the Choreographic Platform Austria will be organised and hosted by steirischer herbst .
