2026 Young Choreographers' Creative Performance

About the Festival

The Young Choreographers' Creative Performance is a creation support program that provides emerging choreographers, who will lead the next generation of the dance world, with opportunities for creation and staging. The purpose of this performance is to provide a practical platform for young choreographers to freely exercise their creative capabilities and build their unique artistic world. Choreographers selected through a fair audition will embody contemporary sensibilities and experimental spirit on stage through new performance production attempts, thereby laying the groundwork for their growth into promising choreographers of the future. Furthermore, this project aims not only to discover new talent but also to support their leap to become choreographers who can expand beyond domestic borders to the international stage, based on a mid-to-long-term growth roadmap. By sharing the creative and original artistic products of young choreographers with the public, it seeks to broaden the base for enjoying culture and arts and contribute to presenting new possibilities for contemporary dance creation.
