The Choreographic Competition 10 Sentidos 2024 opens its doors to companies, choreographers, and dancers who propose new movement languages, innovative choreographic labels, and diverse choreographic research.
Festival 10 Sentidos celebrates its 13th edition from 3 to 18 May 2024 in Valencia (Spain). With a critical and thoughtful approach, the Festival aims to bring to light issues that concern our community and to highlight the role of art as a catalyst for social action. In each edition the programme is structured under a theme that encourages open reflection with the participating creators.
All national and international companies, artists and groups who work with the language of movement can apply to the Choreographic Competition 10 Sentidos. Preference will be given to works created specifically for the Festival or pieces that relate to the theme of this edition, ‘For Culture’, as well as those that stand out for their originality and artistic quality. The duration of the piece must not exceed 15 minutes.
A selection committee will choose the 8 proposals participating in the Choreographic Competition 10 Sentidos. The 8 selected proposals will perform on 7 May 2024 at the auditorium of ‘CaixaForum València’, as part of the Festival’s artistic programme. Each participant or company will bring a technician who can provide directions on sound and lighting needs to the Festival technician at the control booth.
In addition to the Choreographic Competition Prize 10 Sentidos 2024 (worth 2,000 EUR), there is also a Focus Days Prize (chosen by the professionals taking part in the Focus Days programme), which will award an artistic residency in Valencia, dramaturgical advice from a professional in the movement arts, and a contract to perform at the 2025 edition.
Choreographic Competition 10 Sentidos will provide all the selected participants (with the exception of residents in Valencia) with a financial aid to assist in covering the costs of accommodation, travel and food (300 EUR per group for 1–3 people, 450 EUR per group for more than 3 people).
