Mediterranean Dance Center

Mediterranean Dance Center is located in a small Istrian town of Svetvincenat/San Vincenti, in a space of a former culture club. Zagreb Dance Company acquired an exclusive permission from San Vincenti municipality to use that space and develop it into the Mediterannean Dance Centre.

MDC operates using three modules: Education, Presentation and Creation. Through those three concepts MDC develops its seasonal program: artistic residencies and development support for new projects in cooperation with Croatian and foreign partners, educational programs, workshops and seminars for different age groups, esspecially for children and youth, presentations of the results of the mentioned activities. Our aim is to support artists in research, creation, production and presentation of their projects and we do so by providing these artists with working space, basic technical conditions, and a platform for communication, exchange and presentation.
