L1 Association founded in 1998 as an alliance of independent Hungarian dancers has been focusing on the promotion of contemporary dance from the very beginning by supporting the productions, coproductions and presenting the works of talented Hungarian and foreign artists. L1 Contemporary Dance Festival (a.k.a. L1danceFest) considered to be the most important annual event of the Association has gradually developed into a carefully selected European muster of unique contemporary dance and theatre projects. Its general aim is to import new creative thinking and progressive art practices to Hungary.
