Annual Amman Contemporary Dance Festival (ACDF)
ACDF is an annual festival which was initiated in 2009 and which falls in line with NCCA’s mission to promote cultural exchange programs. It is the sole annual festival in Jordan that provides Jordanian audiences the chance to experience cutting edge international performances by renowned choreographers and companies that are deemed inspiring, creative, and thought-provoking, and also to further their appreciation of the aesthetics and techniques of contemporary dance. Various workshops are also held to provide artists the opportunity to expand their horizons & benefit from the experience of artists worldwide.
The ACDF falls within the Masahat Dance Network, a regional network comprising of Maqamat Dance Theatre in Lebanon; Sareyyet Ramallah in Palestine; Tanween Dance Theatre in Syria (which has been inactive since the onset of the Syrian crisis) and the National Center for Culture and Arts in Jordan.
