The foundation offers its support to help young dancers develop and carry out their artistic and professional plans, thus indirectly contributing to the development of contemporary dance in Hungary.
The foundation has been involved in helping young talent for several years. New graduates and students have been regularly involved in the HODWORKS company, headed by Adrienn Hód. With the latest project, the foundation gives 19 young dancers, choreographers and dance teachers the chance to spend an average 15 weeks abroad between June 1, 2010, and May 3, 2011.
Partner Institutions Involved in the Project:
Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD), Salzburg, Austria
Ultima Vez, Brussels, Belgium
Juste Debout School, Pantin, France
Cultural Association NU, Pontedera, Italy
Cullberg Ballet, Norsborg, Sweden
Ponderosa, Stolzenhagen, Germany
Tanzfabrik Berlin - Centre for Contemporary Dance, Berlin, Germany
Participants are generally young career-starter dancers with secondary school or higher education. The majority of them work as freelance dancers and/or are involved in some form of further training.
During the professional training, the participants will be involved in the following activities, depending on individual working plans:
- participation in courses and workshops
- creative work as individuals and teams and the presentation of results
- visiting dance performances and other art events
- preparation of a professional work diary and progress report
