Fifth Asia-Europe Dance Forum

Beijing / Guizhou, China, 13-24 November 2007

The Asia Europe Foundation and the China Dance Association are
coorganizing the Fifth Asia-Europe Dance Forum for choreographer-dancers
and composer-improvisers, to be held in Beijing and Guizhou, China, on
13-24 November 2007.

Pointe to Point, as one of the Asia-Europe Foundation's Young Artist
Exchange initiatives, aims to empower aspiring young artists from Asia and
Europe to reflect upon their views of contemporary society through their
individual artistic expressions. It is committed to providing young people
with a process-oriented platform for artistic exchange and dialogue
through the arts.

The aim of this year's Pointe to Point project is to provide an avenue for
new inspirations, discoveries and to instigate questions. The project will
inquire into the relationships between tradition and the contemporary,
between dance in urban and rural contexts and also between dance and
music. Although primarily a project for dance, the intention is to allow
dance and music to be treated on an equal basis, working from the
beginning from a kind of mutual "ground zero".

The observations and impressions gathered in the course of a research trip
to the province of Guizhou by the 12 selected choreographer-dancers and 6
selected composer-improvisers from Asia and Europe will serve as
inspiration for five days of intensive artistic collaboration in Beijing.
The process and results will be shared with the audience in Beijing after
the public presentation. A team of 4 artistic advisors from Europe and
Asia will facilitate the process and give artistic advice to the
participants during the whole period of the project.

Application deadline is 10 August 2007. For details and an application
