A few years ago I was flattered to be asked by an important woman to a small dinner with a young choreographer.
He said the competition was the first to focus on young choreographers beginning in the field.
How exciting it is to see a talented young choreographer develop!
Many young contemporary choreographers may know nothing about such experiments.
It's a very different piece for me, which is good, but I see myself as still a young choreographer.
I've come late to doing this full time, which is probably why I often get described as a 'young' choreographer.
The evening also includes two new short works by young choreographers.
The reasons for doing so today may vary among younger choreographers.
And there are very few young choreographers who do that.
This is of extreme value and should be used more often by young choreographers.
