Open call for Screendance submissions to 2022 Taiwan Dance Platform
Screendance Showcase of the 2022 Taiwan Dance Platform is now open for submissions. We invite filmmakers, choreographers, dance and video artists, producers and distributors to submit works to be presented in the Platform in November 2022 at National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), the worlds' largest single-roof performing arts center in the south of Taiwan.
For the first time, the biennial Taiwan Dance Platform features screendance competition to call for dance films between 3-20 minutes from all over the world. CHOU Shu-yi, curator of the 2022 Platform, set the theme of "Body Online", revisiting the language of the body during the turmoil in the past two years, to redefine the possibility of performance through dance on screen.
About the concept_ Body Online
Taiwan is an island nation in Asia. During this prolonged period in which international exchanges have basically been at a halt, we have thought about how dance can take place in the virtual world, how artists can create and allow the lifeline of art to continue, how the body and dance have changed in the face of COVID-19, and how the familiar (our bodies) and unfamiliar (use of the camera) have come together to inspire new thoughts for the future.
