Be a Part of Tempo 2012

Tempo Dance Festival is seeking expressions of interest from choreographers and dancers for Tempo 2012. Tempo's philosophy is to increase, enhance and support society's appreciation and experience of dance and how it relates to them. Tempo also caters for the ever-evolving New Zealand dance community, including both emerging and established artists. The festival has always been proud of its dedication to educating young dancers and choreographers by giving them opportunities to hone their craft in a professional theatre setting. Tempo has created a 'Poutama' a ladder of educational progression for dancers beginning with children as young as 4 years old, moving through high school students to tertiary dance students and emerging professional dancers and choreographers.  Opportunities to present work as part of a shared programme or showcase (short works) or in an evening-length show at Tempo's new home, Q Theatre, benefit artists through professional development and by raising the profile of dance in Aotearoa. Tempo also offers emerging artists mentoring support through a designated critical feedback process that aims to encourage both artistic and professional development.  Email Carrie Rae Cunningham for more information.
