E-MOTIONAL Bodies & Cities is a two-year mobility and artistic exchange dance programme gathering artists and managers from six European countries –
Romania, Cyprus, Irelan
d, Latvia, United Kingdom, and Turkey. The programme plans to identify, nurture, attract and sustain talent and creativity at the European level, by connecting artists and dance managers from countries participating in the project through mobility grants, residencies, fellowships, artistic research and performance co-production and exchange. Professional development and artistic experiment represent pillars of the project.
The E-MOTIONAL organisers are currently launching the first call for proposals in the frame of the project’s Motion Fund. This strand represents a special funding scheme aimed at promoting cross-border mobility of the dance sector as well as encouraging the implementation of artists-in-residence activities in the participating countries.
Contemporary dance professionals (artists, managers, academics) from Romania – Ireland – Latvia – Cyprus – United Kingdom – Turkey are invited to apply for a mobility and networking grant of €1000 in order to visit and attend specific events (festivals, workshops, seminars, network meetings) taking place in the other project countries from September 2011 to March 2012.
