I have been selected as one of eight choreographers from around the world to partake in the World Dance Alliance - 2011 International Young Choreographers Project (2011IYCP). It will be a rare opportunity to broaden my choreographic practice alongside other International emerging choreographers. The project takes place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan from the 3 - 24 July, 2011.
The WDA 2011 International Young Choreographers Project is supported by the National Culture and Arts Foundation, Bureau of Culture Affairs, Kaohsiung City Government, and the Chin-Lin Foundation for Culture and Arts in Taiwan.
The 2011ICYP provides me with studio space, dancers, housing, living allowance, and more, to be able to focus on creating a new short dance work. The work will be showcased on July 23rd and 24th, 2011, alongside the works of the other emerging choreographers at the theatre of Tsoying High School. Performances are expected to attract between 300 and 500 people each night.
I will also have the valuable opportunity to share knowledge and experiences with artists of varying backgrounds and cultures by conducting and participating in a number of dance/choreographic workshops and masterclasses.
You will be able to follow my adentures on this project by checking out my. I’ll be posting images and sharing my thoughts and experiences throughout the process. Upon my return from Taiwan, I’ll also be presenting a live artist’s talk (with a forum) about my 2011ICYP experience at the fabulous cultural space and bar – Room 60 (Carraway St, Kelvin Grove).
Enjoy!
