Promoting young talent Dance production 2010
Tanzplan Dresden seeks to give new impulses to the contemporary dance scene in Dresden and has therefore been looking for two production teams to come to Dresden and create a new project for the dance evening at semper kleine szene in June 2010. Choreographers could apply with a team of multimedia artists, composers, stage designers, musicians, dancers or artists of other genres until September 15th, 2009. All together the productions will be supported with € 40.000. The rehearsal period will start in April 2010 over a course of six weeks.
Tanzplan Dresden received almost 60 applications from all over the world. The Jury, consisting of the artistic directors of Tanzplan Dresden, made their decision end of November. The teams of the Germany based argentine choreographer Leandro Kees and of Juraj Korec, choreographer from Slovakia, convinced the jury with their concepts. Tanzplan Dresden is looking forward to welcome the awarded teams in Dresden end of April 2010.
