Oproep voor choreografen voor Tanz.Transformator in Noord-Macedonië

What?

Tanz.Transformator is a one-year open and inclusive dance project of Beatrix Cultural Center in Skopje. In the course of 2023, recognised foreign and local choreographers will work with ambitious emerging and established dancers from the country on inspiring productions, which will be staged in Skopje and tour to several other cities in the region. For this first cycle of the project, activities will take place during January and February 2023.

All choreographers interested to apply are welcomed to share their project proposal, including a theme and ideas on the basis of which they will create the performance. Beatrix Cultural Center encourage proposals that show social engagement and critical awareness throughout the production process, for instance by selecting themes for creation such as women’s rights, gender based violence, youth mental health, climate change, or environmental challenges. However, they are open to other proposals as well and the projects will be selected based on their overall quality and authenticity.
