01 / THE PROJECT
Preliminary rounds and performances in Belgrade lead to the final in Podgorica and an award-winners’ showcase in Sarajevo. The programme combines competition, international stage experience and exchange for young dancers.
桥–CIAO connects young dancers through a sequence of competition rounds, performances and award-winners’ presentations. The programme travelled from Belgrade in Serbia to Podgorica in Montenegro and Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At Belgrade’s Madlenianum theatre, dancers from China and Serbia presented their work to a jury of professionals from both countries. The shared stage also offered young performers from different institutions a chance to encounter one another’s practice.
