SEAD Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance

SEAD is one of Europe's leading centers for contemporary dance. Home of creativity & experimentation.

In 1993, Susan Quinn's vision was to create SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance) as a centre for training contemporary dancers and choreographers as well as a vibrant space that provides the public performances and education in contemporary dance art. At that time SEAD became one of the first places to offer professional-caliber training for contemporary artists in Austria. SEAD today is

an accredited academy with more than 120 international students. SEAD is a meeting point for experimental collaborations, residencies, and performances. As a cultural space open for the general public SEAD offers an educational program for adults and children (follow https://www.facebook.com/SEADtanzkurse), and organises various events in the field of contemporary dance and performance art.

"The Fountain of Youth"
explores the union of mathematical precision and the elegance of human movement, drawing inspiration from the refinement of Baroque music.

We are thrilled to share that SEAD’s founder and artistic director, Susan Quinn, has been awarded the Großer Kunstpreis des Landes Salzburg 2025 – the highest cultural distinction of the region.

For over three decades, Susan has shaped Salzburg’s contemporary dance scene with vision, courage, and an unshakable belief in the power of movement. Through SEAD, she has created a home for dancers from all over the world — a place where openness, diversity, and artistic excellence meet.

Thank you to Land Salzburg and Stefan Schnöll, to Angela Glechner, Clemens Panagl and Marie Rötzer for this honourable distinction. It is a celebration of her life’s work, and a celebration of everyone who has shared in this journey: our teachers, alumni, and the global SEAD community 💛
