Presentation

The 21st Joinville Dance Festival, to be held from July 17 to 27, 2003, brings with it some new concepts concerning the competitive exhibition, aimed at providing the presentation with more technical quality. There has been a noticeable improvement in the artistic quality of the presentation (partly due to the care taken in selecting the groups), but little concern, on the part of the competing groups, concerning questions of stage occupation, choice of soundtrack, costumes, scenery and lighting.

These comments were analyzed by the Festival's Consulting Council, during the planning meeting held in Joinville, in October 2002. This meeting resulted in changes to the regulations and, more importantly, a greater involvement in the Festival on the part of the Council members in relation to the groups and presentations that make up the competitive presentation program.

Notable among the direct actions were:
1 - The insertion of detailed technical information about the structure of the stage (sound and lighting), available to the groups dancing in the arena of the Centreventos Cau Hansen and in the Juarez Machado Theater. This action is aimed at stimulating the choreographers and coordinators of the participating groups to use these resources in their presentations.
2 - Stage rehearsals will be accompanied by a member of the Consulting Council, who will be responsible for giving the groups guidance about stage occupation as well as the sound and lighting resources.
3 - In addition to the sound technician, there will also be two lighting technicians available during the stage rehearsals to help the choreographers and coordinators of the participating groups with the lighting for their presentations.

These actions are also for the purpose of stimulating choreographers, teachers and coordinators of the dance groups to seek not just technical improvement in the dance itself but also concerning questions related to the choreographic composition and other multidisciplinary subjects such as interpretation, scenery and lighting, among others. Another objective is to share experiences within the different areas in the field of culture such as theater, music, circus, arts, folklore etc.

Council members also constantly looking out for changes, or for the lack of them, in questions related to the modalities, which make up the Festival competitive presentation. Some of these modalities, such as Street Dance, Tap Dance and Modern Dance are showing signs of maturing, growing and are seeking new languages. On the other hand, Jazz needs to be deeply looked into by the professionals in this area. And with this in mind and with the objective of contributing to this work, the Festival will hold a round table for the purpose of trying to understand the future of Jazz in Brazil, on July 22.

These are some relevant points concerning the 2003 Regulations, which will only be available in digital format (the same applies to all enrollment forms for the event).

It must be emphasized, however, that the enrollment deadline for selection in the 21st Dance Festival, 4th Half Point Festival, 3rd Modern Dance Exhibition and Alternative Stages is April 4, 2003, and the result of the selection will be made public at the end of May 2003.
