After a successful pilot in 2014, Wilton’s Strike! free dance festival returns in 2016, with commissioned new work from promising choreographers worldwide, from Tuesday 3 May to Thursday 5 May 2016.
Applicants are invited to submit a proposal for a new piece of choreography on the theme of memory. Six choreographers will be selected to develop their pieces, which will be shown at Wilton’s Music Hall in London. Audiences, including critics, will be invited to attend and review the final performances, which will be live-streamed.
Wilton's has a strong reputation for staging dance, with the Mark Bruce Company’s production of Dracula, co-commissioned by Wilton’s, scooping The South Bank Sky Arts Award for Dance in 2013.
Successful applicants will be mentored by the Wilton’s artistic team with help from Jonathan Goddard and a group of experienced choreographers and industry professionals.
Applications are open to anyone aged 18 and over and will close Friday 26 February at 5PM.
