Aerowaves Twenty24: Call for dancers based in Europe

The Aerowaves network is calling for applications from Europe-based emerging choreographers for their yearly programme.

Each year Aerowaves selects 20 of the most promising emerging choreographers in Europe. Aerowaves promotes their work for a year, creating opportunities to perform with their partners. Choreographers apply to the programme with a short, finished work.

Everyone who applies to Aerowaves has the chance to have their work programmed by the partners of the network, whether or not they are selected as Aerowaves artists. Around 100 performance opportunities are guaranteed by the partners and supported by Aerowaves each year.

Should applicants be selected, their work will be promoted by Aerowaves via its website for one year. Participants may also be selected to perform their work at the Spring Forward Festival, and by Aerowaves partners around Europe.
