The Contemporary Ballet Choreographer initiative aims to support emerging and established creative voices by providing a platform for the presentation of new choreographic work.
Where: Digital
When:
Stage 1 – August 5th-7th, 2025,
Stage 2 – February 14th, 2026
Deadline for applications: August 4th, 2025
Choreographers may submit pieces in one or more of the following categories: Neo-Classical, Contemporary Ballet, and Contemporary. Multiple submissions are welcome.
There are no age restrictions or experience requirements—both students and professionals are encouraged to apply. There are also no limitations on group size or the duration of the choreography.
Please note: to be considered for progression to Stage Two, submissions must meet specific eligibility criteria.
One solo, with a duration of between 1 minute 30 seconds and 2 minutes 30 seconds, will be selected to progress to Stage Two. This work will be performed by competitors taking part in the Contemporary Ballet Artist (CBA) event.
The choreographer of the selected solo will receive a financial award and will be invited to lead paid group coaching sessions to support the artistic integrity of their piece.
Travel expenses for coaching sessions will be covered for journeys within the UK.
