It's that time of year again.... we're calling choreographers and dance artists across Europe to apply to become Aerowaves Twenty artists in 2016. Read all about why it's a good idea to apply - and fill in your application form there: http://www.aerowaves.org/artists/opportunities-for-artists
Opportunities for Artists
All you need to know about applying to the Aerowaves Twenty
Why apply to Aerowaves?
-Reach a network Everyone who applies to Aerowaves has the chance to have their work programmed by the partners of the network, whether or not they are selected as Aerowaves artists. Around 100 performance opportunities are guaranteed by the partners and supported by Aerowaves each year.
-Exposure for your work Should you be selected as one of the Aerowaves Twenty, your work will be promoted by Aerowaves via its website for one year by an artist profile, with images, video and press coverage all in one place.
-Promotional Opportunities As one of the Aerowaves Twenty, you will be able to announce your forthcoming performances in the Aerowaves calendar and we will share this through our networks and social media.
-Spring Forward You may be selected to perform your work at our Spring Forward Festival. We guarantee to programme at least 10 of the current Aerowaves Twenty artists in the festival each year.
-If at first... If you are not selected in one year, it is worth applying again (with a different work) in subsequent years. This can help to build recognition and understanding for your work, especially if you are a very new choreographer.
HOW TO APPLY
Apply using the online application form between 1 June and 14 September 2015. Each application must include a link to a video hosted on Vimeo AND the original video file must be sent to us using We Transfer - we are not using DVDs anymore!
APPLICATION TIPS
Read the eligibility criteria thoroughly before putting your application together
Get your application in as early as possible
Give yourself plenty of time to upload your video to Vimeo - technical hitches cause stress, especially at the last minute!
Make sure the video of the work you are submitting is of the highest possible quality and correct lengthLet your national Aerowaves representatives know that you are applying and invite them to see your performance live
PROVIDING YOUR VIDEO ON VIMEO
Please upload your video to Vimeo in HD and include the link in your application form
Use the privacy settings if you do not wish it to be public, but include the password in your application formIf your video is too big for Vimeo's free membership, you should take a Vimeo Plus subscription for one month at €7.95
We use your Vimeo links to share with Aerowaves Partners before our Annual Meeting in October - so that they can do their homework!
SENDING YOUR VIDEO BY WE TRANSFER
We no longer accept DVDs sent in the post
Please follow the instructions on wetransfer.com to upload and send your video file to info@aerowaves.org
Ensure that you send us the highest quality video file that you have of your work
We will download your video file onto a hard drive to use during our Annual Meeting in October
TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR VIDEO
Since our selection process is assisted by watching a video recording, it's really important that you think about how your work will come across.
The video should be a fairly simple record of a public performance of the work from beginning to end
The video must be between 15 and 40 minutes long - videos longer than 40 minutes or shorter than 15 minutes will NOT be assessed
If you are applying with an edited version of a longer work, the video you provide must be of the shortened version
It should include close-ups and wide shots - think about how best to represent the work in terms of details / angles / capturing the scale
Promotional videos are not acceptable, nor are videos of any work other than the one with which you are applying to Aerowaves
