European Union-Russia: Contemporary Dance Co-Productions    

Intradance is a wide-ranging project in the field of contemporary dance to be carried out in 2009-2010. The project will initiate and present five co-productions between Russian dance companies and European Union based choreographers in five regional cities of Russia and Moscow. Intradance is organised within the framework of the European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) and is managed by the Centre Culturel Français in cooperation with the German Goethe-Institut, the British Council, the Portuguese Instituto Camoẽs and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura. The project is funded by the European Commission.

The tasks of the five European Union based choreographers within the project will be:

• To create a co-production with a Russian contemporary dance company. The co-production will be presented in the Russian dance company’s home city.
  Duration: Creation and presentation during a minimum of 4 weeks between June 2009 and March 2010.
• To calculate the production costs in cooperation with the respective Russian partner.
• To present the production during a festival in Moscow where all five selected co-productions will be shown.
  Duration: The Festival will last for one week in April 2010.
• To present their own work in lectures and workshops to the local audience.

The choreographer can select up to two persons – for example, assistants, dancers, light or stage designers - to accompany her/him during the co-production in Russia.

The selection of both the European Union based choreographers and the Russian dance companies, as well as the match making for each co-production, will be the responsibility of the managing board of the project.

A grant for the coverage of the co-productions costs, travel costs, accommodation and fees is included in the project.
