Applications are now open for the 28th International Solo-Dance-Theatre Festival in Stuttgart, Germany.

Young dance artists are invited to submit choreographic works in the “contemporary language of movement” for presentation at the festival, which takes place from March 14-17.

The Festival, under the artistic direction of Marcelo Santos, is the only competition throughout Europe that gives young artists the opportunity to present their dancing and choreographic ideas and abilities in front of an international, knowledgeable audience. The festival offers a good framework for establishing important contacts for an artistic career and into the professional dancing scene for many young dancers and choreographers. On three evenings, six choreographic productions – mostly world premieres – will be presented. On the third evening, the jury will announce the nominations for the final.

The jury will award three prizes in the category choreography and three prizes in the category dance, all ranging between EUR 3,500 and EUR 1,500. Two further prizes both worth EUR 500 will be awarded by the audience.

Application process

The festival’s trustees will choose 18 competitors from among the online applications. The festival focusses on the promotion of young artists. To this end, competitors should be under 30 years old. The choreographed solo dance pieces submitted should be under a year old and between nine and 12 minutes long.

The choreographer may interpret his or her own piece. Applications can only be made online.
