THEME: WHATEVER

 

This year is no a prescribed topic.

Place yourself in an empty space and dance - WHATEVER!

Write down your topic on the blank list of paper - WHATEVER!

WHATEVER is in you, WHATEVER is around you, WHATEVER you do, WHATEVER you are looking for, WHATEVER you are wondering, in WHATEVER you doubt, WHATEVER are you interested in, we are also interested!

Topics of the past ten years:

2009: Media Heroes

2010: Pina Bausch, Merce Cunningham, Michael Jackson

2011: Fusion

2012: Dance and Literature

2013: Everybody dance now! (Dance and rebellion)

2014: I wish for …

2015: IMAGE – BODY –MOVE: the exciting relationship between dance and visual arts

2016: WATER!

2017: Have a dream and do it!

2018: My yesterdays dance with me (cultural heritage)

Guidelines for mentors and performers:

The obligatory part of the creative process should also be translating your ideas and procedures into words. The same as every year, you have to attach a description of your creative process to your application (literary origins, thoughts, procedures, decisions…). Think about it and work on it so as to genuinely delve into the depths of your short dance piece.

The theme or lack thereof is expected to offer a wide scope of possibilities to all artists, regardless of their age. Mentors should discuss it with young performers, while the later should be autonomous and creative in shaping their ideas and pieces.

The role of mentors in creating the short dance piece is to counsel, lead and guide the young performers in creating their own ideas, dance expressions and autonomous choreographies.

Approach the theme with exploratory zeal and creative inspiration.
