Young Creatives 2016 will showcase the work of up to ten young choreographers at the high profile Rambert headquarters on London’s South Bank, as part of Youth Dance England’s well-known project. Selected choreographers will take part in two weekends of workshops, talks and sharings with professional choreographers and dance artists, at the Royal Opera House and Rambert, in a fantastic opportunity to share their own dance work.
Youth Dance England is working in partnership with the Royal Opera House and Rambert to deliver Young Creatives 2016, open to young people who are making dance work with between one and five dancers, in any dance style. The deadline for budding choreographers’ applications and film footage of the work is 15 December 2015; successful applicants will be invited to a selection day on 24 January at the Royal Opera House, London.
Those selected will become one of ten Young Creatives for 2016, have the chance to develop choreographic skills and deepen their knowledge of choreography as well as present a dance piece at Rambert, giving young people a platform to present their own work. The Young Creatives experience will include classes and workshops led by high profile professional artists and choreographers, including from the Royal Ballet, Rambert and Trailblazer Artists from ADAD, and the opportunity to have feedback on work from professional choreographers and peers.
The project is for young people aged 15 to 19 (or up to 25 if disabled) who are making a dance piece with a small number of dancers. The ten young choreographers will spend a weekend at the Royal Opera House with professional dance artists, choreographers and a costume specialist. This will be followed by two days at Rambert to present the dance works. Young Creatives is looking for young people who show creative flare and who have the potential to inspire and move audiences.
