CODA - Oslo International Dance Festival 2027

CODA Oslo International Dance Festival is one of the Nordic region's leading festivals for contemporary dance. Every year in October, the festival creates a vibrant and diverse space for dance art in Oslo, in close collaboration with the city's established dance venues, as well as in unexpected public spaces. Our goal is to make dance in Oslo accessible to everyone, whether you are a performing artist, a dance enthusiast, a curious audience member, or simply looking for something new in the city's cultural calendar. We showcase dance art that broadens perspectives and opens up new ways to see, experience, and participate. 

CODA presents choreographic art across a wide range of formats. From grand performances on large stages to surprising experiences in parks, museums, and subway stations. The audience is invited to experience dance as expression, as thought, and as a shared experience – through performances, conversations, workshops, and collaborations. CODA's mandate is to strengthen dance as an art form in Norway through a festival program of high artistic quality, international collaboration, and professional development. As a meeting place for artists, audiences, and the industry, we work to make contemporary dance accessible, relevant, and dynamic – in tune with society and the times we live in.

CODA pushes boundaries in dance – and dance pushes boundaries within you.
