platformONE

platformONE a showcase of urban theatrical dance

platformONE is the world’s first international choreographic competition of Urban Theatrical Dance. The winning choreographer takes home the paloma® choreographic prize and £3000 (4500 USD)

platformONE is not your typical competition… it is “a competition of ideas” where the vision and  creativity of the choreographer takes center stage.

Events and invitations will be happening around the world. The first such event will be in St. Petersburg Russia http://vkontakte.ru/platformone.

platformONE started as a showcase featuring urban and contemporary dance with a goal of helping Hip Hop Dance Choreographers find a place, a ‘platform’ to explore choreographic ideas in a theatrical setting. Since it’s inception, platformONE has hosted some of the top dance talent in the UK including Plague, Peridot, Sin Cru, Nemisis, Dance Nuvo and more. Because of demand 2012 marks a turning point and the addition of international competitors.

Entry forms become available Jan 20, 2012. If you are interested in hosting a platformONE pre-selection event in your country click here and we’ll be in touch with you shortly.

Rules for the international competition will be posted soon.
