21st Cyprus Choreography Platform - Welcomes 13 new works by established and younger choreograpν

The Cyprus Choreography Platform, which is organized by the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Culture and the Rialto Theater, with its twenty previous editions has contributed significantly to the development and promotion of contemporary dance in our country.

Having been renewed as an institution in recent years - with the diversification of the categories of participants, the inclusion of mentoring in the preparation process and the introduction of the "Newcomer Choreographer Award"- the Choreography Platform continues to aim to support Cypriot artists and to present new works of contemporary choreography to the public.

The eleven choreographers, selected by the Selection Committee and the two awarded choreographers in 2019 and 2020, are intensively preparing, together with their collaborators, to present their new works at the 21st Cyprus Choreography Platform.

This year's Selection Committee consists of Nadia Stylianou, Georgia Doetzer, Katrin Moschovakis, Elena Kotasvili and Alexandros Michael.
