An extraordinary choreography competition lies behind us: for the first time in its 34-year history, it did not take place on the stage of the Theater am Aegi in 2020, as in previous years, but online on the Internet due to Corona.

We are happy and proud to have chosen this alternative: we were able to award the young artists* their cash prizes, which they urgently need in their uncertain situation at the moment - and with the production prizes they will have the chance to work on a new piece next season and finally show themselves to an audience again.

Now we very much hope that we will be able to hold our 35th competition in 2021 again live at the Theater am Aegi.

Gregor Zöllig, chief choreographer of the dance theater at the Staatstheater Braunschweig, has been the artistic director of the competition since 2020.

These are the competition guidelines:
All participants, choreographers and dancers, ought to have professional training. Choreographers must be 39 or younger. The competition is open to any kind of style. Evaluation is based exclusively on imaginative use of space and time, the realisation of an idea, and its transfer onto the performers. The duration of the performance, have to be between 5 and 12 minutes. A solo-ballet may not be interpreted by the choreographer him/herself. The applicant is free in his choice of subject and music. The choreographic work can be send as an Internet link ( youtube, vimeo, etc.) A DVD is also accepted.

Deadline: 26. March 2021
