Call for short choreographical pieces: Nemzetközi Tánc Fesztivál | International Dance Festival (Hungary)
Application deadline: December 2, 2017
The competition program of the Festival can receive 20 solo and 20 duo performances. We want to ensure the possibility for everyone to perform regardless of the large number of perspective participants, SzoloDuo Festival is also going to be completed with nomination-rounds. The nomination rounds will be held in three different countries - Poland, Germany and Hungary.
The festival can not host performances in which there is no intention for a unique presentation, which means that improvisations without any structure or choreography that was performed before will not be accepted.
