A series of dramaturgically and curatorially aimed original dance productions, creating space for beginning professionals in the area of choreography. Emergency Dances created space for the birth of performances such as Nebojsy (Tereza Holubová, Kristýna Štarhová and Klára Kočárková), Jáma lvová (Johana Pocková and Sabina Bočková), Sádlo (Ridina Ahmedová), Mass (Eva Stará), Post Human (Martin Talaga and Denis Baštuga) and others.
