OpenFLR Young Talent 2018 – Call for a young choreographer



Applications for OpenFLR Young Talent 2018 are now closed.

Thank you for applying!

 

OpenFLR would like to open its doors to a young talent.

After the successful past editions, OpenFLR 2018 (2nd/17th July 2018) is looking for one emerging choreographer to come to Florence and create a new piece, alongside internationally acclaimed choreographers.

If selected, you will deliver two half-day workshops/auditions to the participants of OpenFLR 2018. You will then select a group of them and have the opportunity of devising a new creation, working intensively with your group of professional dancers and recent graduates for two weeks. OpenFLR will then culminate in a final presentation, held in a theatre in Florence and open to the public.

Moreover, this year OpenFLR in collaboration with the Festival Danzad Danzad Malditos (Pamplona), are offering you the possibility to delve deeper in the process of the new piece. If selected, once you have shown your piece in Florence, you will be offered a residency in the Baranain Auditorium (1st/ 12th August 2018) to keep developing the piece with a new set of local performers. From 6th till 9th August 2018 you will hold an open workshop (maximum 2hrs per day). Your residency will then culminate in a final presentation of the work (11th or 12th August 2018), which will take place during the festival.

This is a brief and unique opportunity to create in an international professional environment!

* transportation costs to and from Florence
* accommodation in Florence
