CDN Contemporary Dance Night 2023 Residency

“Contemporary Dance Night” (CDN) is an annual independent contemporary dance
event that started in 2011 in order to develop the art of contemporary dance in Egypt and make it a more familiar art form.

The event is a series of live dance pieces (new creations and re-showcasing), dance videos, seminars, workshops and various activities, all under the same umbrella. The team of CDN share together the belief that contemporary dance is a means for self-expression within the current challenging political, social, and cultural context. For this edition they are inviting choreographers who share this belief and our concerns to present their work in Contemporary Dance Night 2023.

The seventh edition of Contemporary Dance Night will take place in the last quarter of 2023, in Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt between late November and early December 2023. In this call, choreographers from Egypt and partnered countries are invited to apply with their new concepts/creations projects, for a two months residency program in Cairo, Egypt, where they will work with Egyptian dancers/artists, as well as a modest production grant, to realize these productions.

For all foreign artists not residing in Cairo, all costs are covered including travel expenses, accommodation, rehearsal space and pocket money during the whole period.

They are looking for young and mid-career contemporary dancers and choreographers residing in Egypt, The United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Germany, America and the Arabic region.

Preferably with a previous experience in artistic projects/spaces management and
teaching.
