The Prix Jardin d’Europe will be awarded to a dance production presented in the frame of an Emerging Works Summit. Every year, one of the co-organizers will organize a festival presenting 10 to 14 works of emerging choreographers selected both from the European dance market and from works co-produced by Jardin d’Europe. The Prix Jardin d'Europe 2010 will be hosted by Bimeras (TR) and will take place within the frame of iDans04 in October 2010 revolving around the theme "Cosmopolitanism".
Jardin d’Europe is a project dedicated to the establishment of a sustainable European infrastructure for the professionalisation of emerging dancers, choreographers, dance administrators and dance writers. Its main objective is to organise individual artistic projects liable to become a driving force in an emerging dance market throughout Europe.
Jardin d’Europe is organised as a network of European dance institutions (dance training centres, dance companies or festival organizers) with a priority in Middle and Eastern European Countries (ArtLink/RO, Bimeras Culture Foundation/TR, CCN Montpellier/FR, Cullberg Ballet/SE, danceWEB/AT, Lokomotiva/MK, Southbank Centre / UK, Station/YU, Ultima Vez/BE, Workshop Foundation/HU).
Jardin d’Europe is based on the success story of the European project danceWEB-Europe, which - with the support of the European Union - enabled a break-up of innovative actions with a recognized European added value in the field of production and dissemination of contemporary dance.
Supported by the the European Culture Programme (2007 – 2013), Jardin d'Europe is a good opportunity to develop an altogether new comprehensive project with the objective to overcome the precarious status of contemporary dance in Europe and to build a reliable hub for contemporary dance and its relating art forms (visual arts, film, music, philosophy, theatre, fashion, architecture).
The network activities of Jardin d’Europe are planned in a period of five years starting July 2008. Each year the results of the accompanying evaluation processes will be used to reframe the process according to the current necessities. Its well elaborated elements are linked together to support the qualification and professionalisation of the emerging players of our art form on a European level.
