The Choreographers'Venture is designed to bring together a dedicated group of dance creators in an intense, highly focused and boundary-extending project that propels questions of contemporary dance to their cutting edge.

The Choreographers'Venture adresses dance/performance artists that are beginning to mid career who are seeking exchange and new input from the project leader and participants alike. The content of the Choreographers'Venture depends on the aims of the project leader: The project leader instigates and facilitates the project, and his/her artistic vision embraces the process. The didactic and physical training aspects are present, but they are not an emphasis of the idea.

The goal of the choreographic venture is to promote the dialogue in dance, to open new horizons for the participants, as well as to create a setting for the project leader to follow his/her curiosity and to try out new concepts. Showings and performances will be part of the process.

General structure
The duration of the Choreographers'Venture is four weeks. The daily schedule is up to the project leader and the group. Days off are in accordance with the festival and the participants.

The selection process is made by the project leader in cooperation with the festival. Application is by resume, letter of motivation and photo. Maximum number of participants: 12.

In 2007, Choreographers'Venture is taking a Sabbatical Year only to return as a true ImPulsTanz research flagship project in 2008. Information & registration online as of the beginning of 2008.
