Call for applications: International Festival of Animated Dance in Reunion Island

The festival’s structure comprises two artistic poles: Image and music, articulated around dance. The event is entirely dedicated to the promotion of a genre, artistic and cultural, at the intersection of dance and the animated image from digital arts, animated cinema or even plastic arts.

The festival highlights and promotes creations where the imaginary world takes precedence over reality. The programme will be organised online and on-site, with particular attention to young audiences. 

The festival also serves as a time for restitution of the annual production residency and co-production carried out by the study and research centre. Specific performances and actions invite the audience to question the artistic, but also the philosophical issues underlying the genre.

The objectives of the annual festival are to:

• Discover, study and educate in digital choreographic culture.
• Open a unique performance space for animated dance, online and offline.
• Disseminate, support and develop culture among amateur and professional audiences.
• Exchange, interact and co-construct the perspective between artists, professionals and audiences.
• Promote the federation and representation of authors.

Eligibility

The organisers are accepting productions presenting a work of choreographic animation (cartoons, synthetic animations, stop motions, real-time animations, dance animations in augmented reality, animations in virtual reality, etc.).

The application deadline is 25 November.
