Dance Umbrella, the internationally distinguished
contemporary dance festival celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013.
The main Dance Umbrella 2014 will run at various venues in
Johannesburg from March 6 to 16, 2014. Dance Umbrella 2014 will remain a platform
for new contemporary choreography and dance and will be structured as follows:
The Main programme: This will comprise only commissioned
work from South African choreographers, invited international works and
selected works from the Dance Forum residency programme. Choreographers can
apply to be commissioned and must contact Dance Forum at 011 492 2033. People
who want to apply for a commission fee can download the application on www.danceforumsouthafrica.co.za.
The Fringe programme: Dance Umbrella is re-introducing the
Fringe Programme which is open to work that runs up to 30 minutes. The
programmes for the Fringe will be curated and once the programme is finalised,
no additional entries will be accepted.
Stepping Stones: Only youth, community groups and
choreographers who do not work regularly will be featured on this programme.
The running time may not exceed 10 minutes.
General application forms can be obtained by calling Lindiwe
at 011 492 2033.
Please note the following:
Once the Stepping Stones programme is full, no other entries
will be accepted. There is also no guarantee that all entries will be
programmed so it is advised that those wishing to apply do so as soon as
possible to avoid disappointment.
The selection and sequence of the programmes will be done at
the discretion of the organisers, the artistic director and consultants and
their decision is final.
The venues for the Dance Umbrella and all technical
facilities within the budget, the theatre, publicity, posters and programmes
are provided free, at no cost to the participating choreographers, dance
companies or groups.
