Fifth Asia-Europe Dance Forum Beijing / Guizhou, China, 13-24 November 2007
The Asia Europe Foundation and the China Dance Association are coorganizing the Fifth Asia-Europe Dance Forum for choreographer-dancers and composer-improvisers, to be held in Beijing and Guizhou, China, on 13-24 November 2007. Pointe to Point, as one of the Asia-Europe Foundation's Young Artist Exchange initiatives, aims to empower aspiring young artists from Asia and Europe to reflect upon their views of contemporary society through their individual artistic expressions. It is committed to providing young people with a process-oriented platform for artistic exchange and dialogue through the arts. The aim of this year's Pointe to Point project is to provide an avenue for new inspirations, discoveries and to instigate questions. The project will inquire into the relationships between tradition and the contemporary, between dance in urban and rural contexts and also between dance and music. Although primarily a project for dance, the intention is to allow dance and music to be treated on an equal basis, working from the beginning from a kind of mutual "ground zero". The observations and impressions gathered in the course of a research trip to the province of Guizhou by the 12 selected choreographer-dancers and 6 selected composer-improvisers from Asia and Europe will serve as inspiration for five days of intensive artistic collaboration in Beijing. The process and results will be shared with the audience in Beijing after the public presentation. A team of 4 artistic advisors from Europe and Asia will facilitate the process and give artistic advice to the participants during the whole period of the project. Application deadline is 10 August 2007. For details and an application form, visit www.asef.org/index.php?option=com_project&task=view&id=1036.
