Priorities for selection

Resolution! is always over-subscribed. When making your application, please think about our priorities for selection, which are:

  • Work that is contemporary in its content and ideas whatever its style or form
  • Work that involves choreographers, dancers and other collaborators who have completed full-time vocational training 
  • Group work rather than solos 
  • Work by experienced dancers at the outset of their choreographic career 
  • Work by artists who are actively pursuing a career in professional dance

For Evolution only:
