| Festival Description | The 40th International Choreographers’ Showcase—a presentation of Dance-Forms Productions to be held at the at the Montenegrin National Theater on May 28 and 29, 2008 at 8:00pm (20:00). This exciting trip offers choreographers an excellent opportunity to perform their work, make contact with the press, numerous dance directors, producers, presenters, other artists, (hopefully to negotiate new engagements!) and to earn a share of the revenue from ticket sales of two performances. A dynamic platform for the promotion and presentation of contemporary dance, “The International Choreographers’ Showcase” was first presented at Festival Off d’Avignon in Avignon, France in July and August 1994. Since then “The International Choreographers’ Showcase” has delighted international audiences with presentations of outstanding contemporary dance. Choreographers are invited who are willing to invest in themselves and who are interested in expanding their knowledge of other cultures, as well as promoting their work abroad. Choreographers see this thrilling event as an opportunity to benefit their professional development. Participants receive a complete production package, which includes: the theater, lighting, sound, technical assistance, publicity, pre-show rehearsal arrangements, printed materials, printed programs, and hotel accommodation based on two persons sharing twin bedded rooms with private bath/shower. |
