Aerowaves at The Place, London & Operaestate Festival, Italy (deadline: 24 Sep)
Aerowaves is the international strand of Resolution!, The Places annual, new year open season for shorter dance works. Ten works from across Europe perform once alongside their British counterparts as part of a triple bill. Aerowaves is a Europe-wide project started in 1997, which brings together dance specialists from 32 countries to look at the work of young choreographers. For the last ten years this has resulted in ten performance opportunities at The Place, London as part of the Resolution! festival. This year, we are happy to announce that there will also be three performance opportunities in July/August 2008 at Operaestate Festival Veneto Bassano del Grappa, Italy. Who is it for? Its for emerging choreographers and companies who have not yet done much touring abroad. How does it work? You complete an online application and send to London 2 identical DVDs of the work you wish to present by Monday 24 September 2007. The Aerowaves partners meet to watch the DVDs in late October and help chose work for each festival. The performance opportunities in the UK and Italy are confirmed, however, each year other informal opportunities arise and work has been presented through Aerowaves in the majority of the countries represented at the meeting. I performed in Aerowaves with my solo Love is Fàstic and it was the first significant step of my international career. As a result of performing in London, I went onto perform in a number of important festivals. It also got my work seen by a lot of European presenters. Aerowaves is without doubt one of the best, if not the best, platforms for new dance work in Europe. - Sol Pico, performed 1999 For information on how to apply to present your work in Aerowaves, please read the application guidelines which are available in English, Spanish, Germany, French and Italian.
