eurasia videodance contest 2021
The EurAsia VideoDance Contest 2020 and 2021 received applications from all the five continents and the beautiful selected videos are still on tour worldwide through out the EurAsia Network.
2021 edition of the contest was possible thanks to the collaboration with the following institutions that were also part of the jury:
– Italian Cultural Institute of Helsinki, Finland
– EurAsia Partner DANCEHAUSpiú of Milan, Italy
– Festival Exister of Milan, Italy
– Choreography Online´s IODC of Canada
EurAsia VideoDance Contest 2021 has been supported by the Italian Cultural Institute of Helsinki in Finland and by the Italian Cultural Institute of Mumbai in India.
Participating in this contest translates into an act of solidarity: all proceeds from the event will be fully donated and divided among the EurAsia Students & Dancers coming from poor realities and with greater economic issues.
This second edition, entitled “Human Routes”, aimed to deal with the need to re-establish a meeting with “the other” and discover the unknown through this encounter. The contest is always open to dancers and choreographers of any origin. 2021 contest was interested in video projects born from collaborations between dancers and choreographers who have created a duo (duet) during the period of the pandemic.
EurAsia VideoDance Contest is brought by EurAsia Dance Project International Network, both directed by Stefano Fardelli
