Aerowaves is a hub for dance discovery in Europe. We identify the most promising new work by emerging dance artists and then promote it through cross-border performances. Aerowaves’ network of partners in 33 countries enables these younger choreographers to bring brand new dance to new audiences.Aerowaves is powered by the weekend promotional platform Spring Forward, a festival that travels from city to city, year on year – from its inauguration in Ljubljana in 2011 to Vitry in Paris in 2019. Everything was in place for Rijeka in 2020 until the coronavirus pandemic forced its cancellation. Spring Forward the show must go on – line was rapidly assembled as an acclaimed substitute. In Elefsina in 2021, local audiences will again rub shoulders with 200 dance presenters as they decide which of the 25 short dance works celebrating 25 years of Aerowaves they will invite to their own venues. At least 81 opportunities will be on offer in Europe, Taiwan, Japan and Korea as and when theatre regulations and travel restrictions permit.Springback Academy is a parallel project which searches for 10 young writers and puts them on a crash reviewing course under the watchful eyes of four renowned dance critics. In the following years, and with further multi-media training, they become the writers of our new interactive online dance publication Springback Magazine. They will also collaborate in deepening the audience’s engagement through new approaches to discussion following performances and with the artists.These pioneering activities are rooted in the relationships of trust which stabilise a network that has met in a different city every October since 1997, identifying the next Twenty artists after a Europe-wide open call. The continuing confidence of Aerowaves and its Partners was secured by a Platforms Award during the first three years of the scheme, followed by a further four year grant in 2017. It now looks to the final year as a springboard to an unpredictable future. |
