PLEASE NOTE THE DEADLINE FOR THE 2010 ROUND HAS NOW PASSED.
About the Award
The Arts Council and RTÉ calls on choreographers, producers, directors
and composers to combine their talents to create innovative short dance films
to be premiered on RTÉ Television during the Dublin Dance Festival (7
– 23 May 2010).
RTÉ Dance on the Box challenges film and dance artists to create original
work together for the television audience. This jointly-funded initiative by
the Arts Council and RTÉ aims to bring the energy and imagination of
contemporary dance in Ireland to the TV screen and to stimulate the production
of dance films.
Up to four new short dance films will be commissioned. Their choreography and
direction must be original, rather than adaptations of existing work. Each film
should be between five and six minutes in duration and have a maximum budget
of €22,000.
The Arts Council and RTÉ will look for projects which combine filmmakers
and choreographers with a track record of quality and creativity in film/television
production and dance, respectively. Priorities will also include the ability
to address a peaktime television audience and to foreground artists resident
in Ireland.
