Zagreb Dance Company (ZPA) was founded in 1970 by the dance artist Lela Gluhak Buneta, and since 2014 it has been run by Petra Glad Mažar. It has always insisted on original works and high artistic and technical level of its productions. Regular collaborations with foreign choreographers and various artists from the fields of theatre, visual arts and music, have contributed to the Company’s readiness to face the challenges of different artistic approaches and poetics. As such, ZPA has marked the careers of many dancers and dance experts who are working in Croatia and abroad. For its contribution to the development of Croatian theatre, Zagreb Dance Company received the Croatian Theatre Award for Best Choreography (2004, 2012, 2018), Best Female Dancer (2004, 2016), Best Male Dancer (2004, 2006, 2012), Best Stage Design (2006) and Best Dance Production (2008, 2012). Zagreb Dance Ensemble has continuously presented its productions in theatres and at festivals in Croatia and abroad, in nearly all European countries, Russia, Israel, South Korea, Egypt, Dominican Republic and Mexico.
