International Choreographic Competition Hannover"},"content":{"rendered":"

For the first time in its 34-year history, our competition cannot be held in the usual manner on June 5 and 6 at the Theater am Aegi.\u00a0<\/span>Instead of presenting the choreographies nominated for the competition publicly on the stage of the Theater am Aegi, the Hanover Ballet Company will show the works of the choreographers in digital form. The prizes to be awarded – the three main prizes as well as the Critics’ Prize and all production prizes – are to be presented! From June 1 to June 7, the submitted application videos will be shown on the website of the Ballett Gesellschaft Hannover. www.ballettgesellschaft.de\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The Ballett Gesellschaft Hannover is thus sending an important signal in this time of crisis, when solidarity is more important than the idea of competition! One<\/span> are currently living in an extraordinary time that is extremely challenging: All areas of public life lie idle. Many dance professionals are affected and face serious existential problems in continuing their work. It would be a bitter loss for the culture in our country if the free and established dance ensembles could no longer exist.\u00a0<\/span>Therefore, the Ballett Gesellschaft Hannover want to support the artists with the means at our disposal by continuing to offer them a platform to show their dance creations and to secure future work perspectives by awarding money and production prizes.<\/span><\/p>\n
