Description:
The Tanz.Transformator project of Beatrix Cultural Center, based in Skopje, North Macedonia, is looking for an international choreographer to lead a three-day dance intensive and a one-month (25 working days) production-oriented residency, which includes a national tour to show the resulting production in Skopje and three other cities.
Where: Skopje, North Macedonia
When: 09 January to 09 February, 2023
Deadline for applications: Friday 25 November 2022, 11:59 CET
The Tanz.Transformator project aims to enhance the employability of talented contemporary dancers and to increase the visibility and recognition of the dance community in North Macedonia.
The project is supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.
Tanz.Transformator offers a unique opportunity to one international choreographer with a background in contemporary dance to travel to Skopje to work with ambitious professional dancers and to develop a production, as well as to present the production in Skopje and three other cities, from 09 January – 09 February.
The selected choreographers will lead a three-day dance intensive workshop (4 hours/day), for which approximately 40 participants will be selected through an open call. On the last day of the dance intensives, the choreographer will select seven participants for the subsequent residency.
During the one-month production-oriented residency, the choreographers will work with the seven selected dancers, who will be paid a fee for their participation, to develop a production of 45 – 60 minutes. A costume designer, set designer and a music composer will be available.
At the end of the residency, the production will be performed in Skopje and in the main theaters of three other cities during a national tour. Each performance will be followed by artists’ talks with the choreographer and the ensemble. If additional project funding is secured, the production will also be part of an international tour and/or a dance festival in Skopje.
Tanz.Transformator pays special attention to social engagement and critical awareness of the dancers and the audience. It is a plus if choreographers work with themes such as women’s rights, gender-based violence, youth mental health, climate change or environmental challenges.
This is a paid opportunity and the choreographers will receive a honorarium for their engagement. Tanz.Transformator covers the international travel costs from the airport (or international railway/bus station) of departure to Skopje, North Macedonia and back. Tanz.Transformator will also provide accommodation, a modest per diem and local (intercity) transport during the residence.
