Overzicht partners RIDCC

RIDCC kan niet zonder de steun van onze partners. De partnerinstellingen die de awards uitreiken bieden de deelnemende choreografen de uitzonderlijke mogelijkheid om bij hun organisatie aan een project te werken. Theater Rotterdam is nu voor het derde jaar onze locatiepartner. In 2019 voegde Peggy Olislaegers zich bij RIDCC om zowel ons team als de deelnemers te coachen en te adviseren. RIDCC en het Holland Dance Festival, de enige internationale dansbiënnale in Nederland, zijn sinds de derde editie van RIDCC een samenwerking aangegaan. Deze samenwerking draagt bij aan kennisdeling en het versterken van de verbinding binnen de danssector door talentvolle choreografen bijzondere kansen te bieden.

Theater Rotterdam is the proud location partner of RIDCC.

Dave Schwab, programmer dance/performance of Theater Rotterdam : ‘It is very special to be at the premiere of the winning production with two lucky choreographers a year after the final. They had a chance to make their first full performance. That experience and its value cannot be expressed in terms of money. Look forward to the next!’

Presenting your own work during the RIDCC is not the end station. It is the start of various collaborations with the professional field. And therefore, the RIDCC can give an important boost to the development of young choreographers.”
