Young professional choreographers, dancers, composers and lighting designers are invited to answer to the call for applications to participate in the third edition of the Crossings International Artistic Workshop.<\/p>\n

Crossings #3 will take place in Cape Town from 8 to 17 November 2013, and is hosted by the University of Cape Town\u2019s Gordon Institute for Performing and Creative Arts (GIPCA), Baxter Theatre Centre and School of Dance with the support of Institut fran\u00e7ais and the French Institute of South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Crossings concept is unique in that the workshop gives participants the opportunity to collaborate and explore new creative horizons during ten days under the supervision of a team of established, international artists. \u201cIt\u2019s not about your latest work, it\u2019s about your latest experiment,\u201d says Michel Kelemenis, French choreographer and founder of Crossings.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s facilitators are: choreographers Germaine Acogny (Senegal) and Vincent Mantsoe (South Africa), lighting designer Floriaan Ganzevoort (Holland) and composer James Webb (South Africa).<\/p>\n

With international collaboration at the core of the project\u2019s success, 21 young international artists will be selected to participate in Crossings #3: 3 choreographers (of whom 1 must be of South African nationality), 3 composers (of whom 1 must be of South African nationality), 3 South African lighting designers and 12 dancers (of whom 6 must be of South African nationality). Tuition fees, meals and accommodation are included, allowing artists to freely and fully dedicate themselves to the training.<\/p>\n

Conceived by French choreographer Michel Kelemenis, the two first editions of Crossings took place in 2010 and 2011 in Johannesburg at the Dance Factory, the Dance Forum, Moving into Dance Mophatong and Vuyani Dance Theatre. Three years after the initial edition of Crossings, international connections between previous participants are still flourishing.<\/p>\n
