II. INTERNATIONAL CHOREOGRAPHIC PLATFORM
There are 2 evenings for young choreographers to 35 years who can log into their festival choreography shorter (20-30 minutes). The specified conditions are: the maximum number of dancers 4, the continuity of the festival theme, ProART reimbursed honorarium or travel only provides accommodation for two nights (before and after the performance). On the contrary, we participate in the festival workshops for free. For those interested in one-week courses we can provide accommodation, which did not pay any of the participating himself. The aim of this platform is to offer young choreographers to present their work in professional terms, but without the motivation of financial earnings. Every beginning is difficult and may not be immediately associated with the financial rewards. On the contrary, we want to awaken a greater desire to create, find ways to succeed in the fierce international competition and promote the desire to constantly improve. We also offer festival audiences a wider range of dance styles and choreographic styles, given that our festival lasts one week.
