2-Written Statement:
We know you’re full of fantastic ideas, so we’re excited to hear your ideas for the Carlos Acosta Choreographic Fellowship CACF. But don’t worry; we won’t ask you for a boring, super-detailed proposal just yet. We want you to unleash your imagination and give us a glimpse of your choreographic brilliance.
-In 250 words or less, share with us your wildest, most out-of-the-box idea for your choreographic inquiry during the Fellowship. We encourage you to focus on the essence of your idea rather than the nitty-gritty details like music, costumes, and all that jazz (pun intended!).To get you started, finish this statement: “I’m ready to shake up the dance world like never before! As a choreographer, I’ve always dreamed of exploring…”
Remember, we’re looking for that spark of creativity that sets you apart, so let your imagination run wild and have a blast with it! And don’t worry; we promise not to judge you if your idea involves dancing penguins or a flash mob in outer space. We’re here to celebrate your unique vision and ensure your choreographic dreams come true! Also, remember this is not an English grammar test.
