The Dance Department promotes a multi-year programme aimed at supporting the production (or co-production) of new works by international choreographers or dance companies. In order to participate in the selection, it is necessary to propose an original choreographic project (which has never premiered either in studio or full form).
The documentation to participate in the selection - which must be submitted no later than 20 October 2024 via an online application form - consists of:
Incomplete applications will be automatically excluded.
The selected project - which will need to be adapted for the Biennale venues - will be supported by the Foundation with a contribution of up to € 30,000.00.
La Biennale will also contribute to cover the following expenses:
· artistic cachet for the Venice debut;
· travel and accommodation expenses of the choreographer or the company for the debut in Venice;
· expenses related to the technical rider for the Venice debut
After the selection, a previsional budget of the project will be requested.
The performance will make its debut (world premiere) as part of the Biennale Danza 2025.
The selected choreographer or company will sign an agreement with La Biennale di Venezia guaranteeing their availability and the feasibility of the project for its debut in Venice according to the schedule agreed upon with the Artistic Direction.
The Artistic Director of the Dance Department, Wayne McGregor, will make the selection at his sole discretion, based on the materials submitted.
The outcome of the selection will be announced by the end of November 2024.
