Matthew Bourne has announced the second New Adventures Choreographer Award (NACA). Open to emerging choreographers of all ages, the award follows the success of the inaugural award in 2012 which launched the career of James Cousins, now an internationally regarded choreographic talent.
Matthew Bourne said "I am delighted to be announcing the second New Adventures Choreographer Award. None of us at the company anticipated the huge appetite for an award of this kind the first time around. James Cousins has gone on to establish an enviable career as an international choreographer of contemporary dance and I am very much looking forward to finding our next winner."
Bourne will lead a world-class team of judges who will assess applications and choose either one or a number of winners to create a showcase of new work in 2014. All winners will be mentored by Matthew Bourne and other judges will provide work opportunities, mentoring and support over the twelve months leading up to a showcase of new work.
The award is run by the charitable arm of New Adventures, Re:Bourne who provide mentoring support on budgeting, management, contracting and fundraising. Over £40,000 is available to the winner/s.
