Smash Talks

Introduced at Jumpin’ at Istanbul 2026, Smash Talks gives our artists the space to step away from the dance floor and share something they want to talk about.

Each artist chooses their own topic, opening conversations around history, personal experiences, artistic journeys, culture, music, dance, and the ideas that shape their work.

A chance to listen, learn, ask questions and get to know the people behind the dancing from a different perspective.
