2–23 July 2017 (dates TBC) Kaohsiung, Taiwan
The International Young Choreographers' Project (IYCP) is located in the city of Kaohsiung, south of Taiwan. The tentative dates for the 2017 event are 2–23 July, with two performances at the Tsoying High School theatre from 22–23 July.
Selected choreographers will receive housing, local transportation, dancers, studios, publicity, production and office assistance. An honorarium of US $800 will be provided. Participants are responsible for airfare and local transportation between the airport and the site.
Choreographers will create a work on local dancers, many of whom will be non-English speaking. Only choreographers who feel confident that they can meet the challenges of producing a work in unfamiliar circumstances, and with unfamiliar dancers, should apply.
We will announce the recipients on 24 February 2017 on the WDA-AP website .
