The Center for Choreography Bleiburg/Pliberk (CCB) was founded in 2011 as a platform for contemporary dance in Carinthia. The founding patron was the dancer, choreographer and director Johann Kresnik (1939-2019).

As a bilingual cultural institution in Carinthia, the CCB aims to reach as many people as possible with its artistic productions that transcend conventional boundaries and limitations and to inspire them with the art form of dance and performance.

This is to be achieved with own productions, guest performances, workshops, residencies and symposia, interdisciplinarity, youth work, mediation programs, national and international cooperations.
