Preference will be given to those works created specifically for the competition, that is to say, works that have been premiered for the first time. The selection will be based on the film material provided by the participants.
The works must not exceed 10 minutes in length, and those longer than 10 minutes will be eliminated. Open to works with a single dancer, duets or groups, the maximum number of dancers per choreography will be eight. The competition will be held over two days, with eight pieces competing each day. On the third day - the day on which the closing gala and awards ceremony will be held - only the choreographies designated by the jury will be danced in order to validate their scores and/or comparisons with the rest of the works in competition.
The selected choreographers will receive a document that must be signed and re-delivered committing to attend the competition except in the case of exceptions and force majeure.
Any other case not included in these rules will be resolved by the management of the organizing committee. Being selected in the competition implies the acceptance of these rules and the general rules of the competition. Failure to comply with them may result in the participants not receiving the scholarships, travel, accommodation and the possibility of competing.
Choreographers interested in submitting their proposals to the Festival must provide audiovisual material (five minutes long) for evaluation by the selection committee. In this material, they will show the style that defines their choreographic line, as well as a general idea about the choreographic composition and its relationship with the Jacobean Route or any of its values or conceptual elements. Preference in the selection will be given to those works created specifically for the festival, i.e., unpublished (as a premiere).
The festival organizers, CIDANZ Producciones-Ballet Contemporáneo de Burgos SL, will evaluate the proposals submitted and select the three finalist choreographers.
The maximum number of performers will be five and works with only one performer may be presented. The style is free: the festival 'Danza en el Camino' is open to the programming and exhibition of Spanish, classical, contemporary, urban, etc. dance pieces.
The work must be between 10 and 15 minutes long. The choreography will be unpublished and expressly created for 'Danza en el Camino'.
The scenic space will be at street level, seeking to blend in with the environment. A dance linoleum that simulates stone separates the artist from the audience. The lighting is on-site and as a support in the later hours.
Choreographers who have their works registered with the SGAE or other similar rights societies must have paid the canon for their performance. The Festival management will not pay any fee for the choreographies in competition. In the same way, if the music of the choreography is subject to any kind of royalty, the choreographer contestant will bear the expenses related to the SGAE or other similar rights societies.
All choreographies by new and professional choreographers, Spanish or foreign, over 18 years of age, may participate.
All film material will remain at the disposal of the Festival organization. Likewise, the organization reserves the right to keep all the material sent -including the works not selected for its historical archive- and will be exempted from the rights of the images taken by the photographer during the development of the performances. Local, regional and national television channels will be allowed free access only for informative purposes, so that no choreographer will be able to prevent the recording of the staging of his or her piece.
The organization will be responsible for the cost of accommodation, meals and transportation during the Festival. For those groups coming from the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, the Balearic Islands and abroad, a travel allowance of 200 euros per group will be provided, but not including travel expenses. For the rest of the participants, the usual travel expenses (train, bus or car tickets) will be paid up to a maximum of 100 euros per group.
