What is Looping ?

...extented information...

In October 2008, the LOOPING projects, registered by Uzès danse, was selected by the European Commission within the framework of its Culture 2007-2013 program, a program which funds cultural cooperation initiatives.

This project was designed in collaboration with two co-organizers: the TanzWerkstatt Berlin and the O Espaço do Tempo à Montemor-o-Novo from Portugal, who contribute to project funding, and a partner, the Kanuti Gildi SAAL from Estonia, whose premises are available for residences.

LOOPING has a two-year objective of supporting creations by twelve emerging choreographers, from six different countries: France, Germany, Portugal, Estonia, Romania and Turkey, by working with them throughout the creative process, from research on to production of the work, and beyond, to its diffusion. Technical, financial and administrative resources are provided to the selected choreographers to enable them to create a short, 30-minute work.

Cycles of residences are organized in each of the six partner countries, to enable the artists to work on their creations, with support and feedback from dramatists and playwrights (philosophers, university professors, artists, theoreticians …) who will bring their opinion to bear on the work, providing an objective gaze, criticism and training.

At the same time, young production administrators will be trained, in order to ensure structural aspects to develop alongside the young choreographers.

The works created will be performed during the seasons and festivals organized by the three partner structures.

Introducing the managers...

Six cultural managers have been selected in order to support the LOOPING choreographers in terms of production management, public relations etc.
Moreover, they get the chance to gain valuable insights into the work of the LOOPING partner organisations and get to know the local dance scene in different European cities.

WHAT IS LOOPING ?

LOOPING is producing 12 shorter works by young choreographers in 2009 and 2010. Young cultural managers will be engaged in order to ensure structural aspects alongside the selected choreographers. Cycles of residencies are organized in each of the six partner countries in Europe. The created pieces will be finally shown at the Uzès Danse Festival (France), O Espaço do Tempo in Montemor-o-Novo (Portugal) and Tanz im August in Berlin (Germany).

LOOPING is funded by the Culture Programme of the European Union. The project has been developed by Uzès danse CDC, with the partnership of TanzWerkstatt Berlin and O Espaço do Tempo, in cooperation with partners in Estonia, Romania, Serbia and Turkey. 

This blog has been initiated and created with the support of Doreen Markert and TanzWerkstatt Berlin. Its basic idea is a collaborative online platform for LOOPING implemented by the LOOPING participants.
