About this competition

The selected 100-plusdancers and choreographers enchanted the audience, the jury and the media with their passion, hard work and enthusiasm. The result was three exciting days in the Theater imPfalzbau – modern dance of the highest level! Therefore the Theater imPfalzbau Ludwigshafen will stage the 7th International Choreography Competition no ballet.

Goals and Concepts

Firstly, I wish to have this opportunity to take part in this competition. This competition will open more ways of how I can see, practice and create dances. This competition inspires and supports me to challenge many ways of my own talents, formally and informally about the art of creating dances. In addition, I will have a chance to prove in front of an audience, gain more experience and also e nhance myself as a dancing artiste in Malaysia. I also believe that this environment will be simultaneously competitive and inspiring. This will make me more matured and more innovative in my creative work. For me, this competition also help me to exchange thoughts and opinions on how different choreographers create a piece of art.

I realize that learning is an endless process and art helps one to experience the joy of progress in life. Therefore I will lead my four dancers to Germany to participate this competition and will be motivated by your sponsorship.I sincerely ask for your generous support. We greatly appreciate your sponsorship that is very important to the success of this competition.
