The “KYOTO CHOREOGRAPHY AWARD” was established in 2020 as a new program of “Dance it is !!“, a project to foster choreographers of contemporary dance. The award is intended to be the next step for choreographers by providing an opportunity for them to present their work, receive an award, and discuss their work with an audience. Producers, critics, and experts in various fields of the dance world are invited to serve as jurors to determine the Kyoto Prize, Encouragement Prize, and Best Dancer Prize, and other awards. Each award is intended to encourage not only the perfection and attractiveness of the piece, but also expectations for the choreographer’s future. In 2022, six groups have been selected through a screening process from among 39 groups that applied from all over Japan, and will perform for two days at Kyoto Prefectural Citizen’s Hall ALTI. There will be a discussion after the three performances on each day, and the awarding ceremony for each prize will be held on the evening of the second day. Online live-streaming and audience voting for the audience prize will also be available. Please take a look!

About online live-streaming & audience voting

Your vote will open the way for future choreographers!

The performance will be live-streamed (with charge), and the audience vote will determine the audience prize. 50% of the proceeds from tickets and online viewing will be distributed to the performing groups according to the number of votes from the audience. Each person visiting the Kyoto Prefectural Hall ALTI is allowed to cast one vote in the audience voting.
