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 whatever its style or form
  • Work by new artists with dancers 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 younger artists who can demonstrate an engagement with the dance profession and its opportunities

For Evolution only:

  • Work by artists who can show a clear progression from their previous work

The deadline for applications for Resolution! 2011 is Wed 15 September 2010.
