The Bogliasco Foundation is pleased to announce that, thanks to a generous grant from the Jerome Robbins Foundation, it will offer its sixth annual Special Fellowship in Dance to an American choreographer during the 2010-11 academic year at the Liguria Study Center for the Arts and Humanities, near Genoa, Italy. The one-month residency is intended for a single choreographer working on material for a future piece or on a solo work. Bogliasco Fellows in Dance have access to a private studio with a sprung dance floor. Applicants are expected to demonstrate significant achievement commensurate with age and experience.
Under the terms of this award, the recipients travel expenses of up to $1,000 will be paid and s/he will also receive a stipend of $1,000. Bogliasco Fellows are provided with full room and board, and given studios/offices with computers and internet access.
The Bogliasco Foundation grants approximately 50 residential Fellowships during the academic year to qualified persons doing advanced creative work or scholarly research in the various disciplines of the arts and humanities. Fellows come from many different countries and may be accompanied by spouses or spouse-equivalent companions for all or part of their stay. They are housed in three villas, all of which offer spectacular views of the Mediterranean and Ligurian coastline, an inspiring setting that has proved to be a powerful stimulant for reflection and creativity. Any choreographer who is interested in being considered for this special Fellowship needs to submit an application by January 15, 2010 for the fall/winter semester and April 15, 2010 for the winter/spring semester. Announcements as to the recipients of all Special Fellowships are made on July 1.
We encourage interested candidates to visit the Foundations website for more detailed information about how to apply to the Bogliasco Foundation’s Fellowship program.
