The Independent, BD: Goethe-Institut Bangladesh, in partnership with Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, invites promising young dancers and choreographers to participate in a call for applications for the upcoming ‘Young Choreographers’ Platform 2018’ to be held from October 20 to November 30 this year. The platform will provide a stage to promising young dancers and choreographers to express themselves, their themes, visions and dreams by contemporary dance movements. In an initial workshop in late October, choreographers will confirm their teams of dancers and have a chance to attend screenings of contemporary dance performances at Goethe-Institut.
Throughout the month of November, the choreographies will then be developed in close mentorship with the German dancer and choreographer Tomas Bünger of TanzKollektivBremen.
Selected choreographers together with their dancers are expected to participate in the two day workshop at Goethe-Institut, the full month of November for the rehearsal times assigned as well as for all stage performances. Selected choreographers will receive necessary support from Goethe-Institut Bangladesh in this regard.
All dancers and choreographers with previous experience in contemporary dance and choreographies are eligible to apply. Applicants shall wish to express their own feelings and their own themes by choosing a suitable dance language. While this may be influenced both by classical as well as contemporary movements, important is the process of designing the performance based on the artist’s observations.
Deadline for applications has been set on October 6.
The other necessary information to apply can be found on Goethe-Institut Facebook page.
