About TILT Grow:
TILT Grow is one of PRD’s main initiatives and aims to promote outstanding performance in dance theatre/contemporary dance, as well as make participants more viable in a field that is constantly changing. The dancers will be selected to participate in a one-year talent program. The programme will annually produce one or more works for and with the talents in the programme. The performances will follow the broad project TILT on tour to host municipalities, cities, cultural centres and stages in the region where the project is carried out. The participants will plan and implement broad projects as part of the program and through this acquire competence in project management. The program includes a mentoring scheme, as well as several gatherings/seminars where participants meet artists and other relevant professionals who have succeeded in their field.
“This year we are tailoring TILT for Oslo, Viken, Vestfold and Telemark, with an artistic ambition to create exciting dance art together with exceptional performers and a group of choreographers who we admire and believe will challenge and provide inspiration to the participants in the program TILT Grow”, says artistic director of Panta Rei Dance Theatre, Anne Ekenes.
Implementation:
The seminar series will mainly be held in spring 2024, as well as in the autumn. The timing of the mentor meetings is agreed between talent and mentor. The rehearsal period will run over two weeks with the goal of creating a solo in 5 minutes. The rehearsal period will be conducted in May/June. The tour and implementation of broad-based projects in TILT will run for up to 4 weeks in June and August 2024.
