About Us
ONE Foundation for Culture and Arts emerged as a successor to ONE, the platform for contemporary culture most notable for publishing the eponymous magazine for contemporary culture (2002 – 2011) and for organizing dozens of events with a meaningful contribution as the Bulgarian scene continues to open up to the rest of the world. ONE is behind three of the most influential events in Bulgaria in contemporary design, dance and architecture (ONE DESIGN WEEK, ONE ARCHITECTURE WEEK, ONE DANCE WEEK), as well as a number of other projects.
2024
In 2024 One Dance Festival will have its 16th edition, and we have the ambition to turn it into a remarkable event which celebrates life, diversity, peace and inclusiveness. We continue our main goals to legitimate the contemporary dance genre on a national level, to strive to achieve its institutional recognition among the other arts in the country, to develop new audiences, and to turn Plovdiv into a stage for internationally acknowledged dance groups, choreographers, and artists.
