This is
an open call for applications from dance filmmakers, living and working in
England to apply to our commissioning fund of £56,000 to make new single screen
dance film or video for cinematic presentation.
This is a
new ideas-led commission scheme which exists to create original, innovative
screen dance on a budget appropriate to the concept. The total fund available
is £56,000, the largest amount of commissioning funds South East Dance has
offered to date, and artists can apply for any amount up to the total of
£56,000 depending on their experience and the nature of the project.
We may
support several films or one, based on the proposals that are submitted. Our
task is to support the best ideas that we can realise on the budget available.
We will endeavour to award artists the whole budget that they require to
create their film and we are happy to discuss
co-commission
opportunities should artists have some funding in place. We will work
with an expert panel to choose which project or projects to support.
Applicants
have the choice to submit either a written proposal or an audio-visual proposal
on DVD. Please see our How To Apply guidelines for further information.
As part of our commitment to excellence, we encourage diversity amongst
practitioners and audiences of screen dance. South East Dance welcomes
proposals from applicants from every contemporary arts discipline; however we
are looking for proposals that show clear choreographic intent.
