We’re looking for artists to explore how movement can appear in everyday life or unexpected places. Your film idea could take inspiration from memories of first dancing in your parents’ living room, to finding freedom dancing at clubs.

The commission is open to dance artists of all styles and practices. We welcome applications by 11:59pm Thursday 3 April Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eGZybQ5b

🏵️ Winners of the FIRST Rose International Dance Prize! 🏵️ Our very first Rose International Dance Prize came to a close with an award ceremony hosted at our home, Sadler’s Wells Theatre. Greek Choreographer Christos Papadopoulos has been named as the Rose Prize winner 2025 for his haunting production, LARSEN C. Named after the vast Antarctic ice sheet which broke away in 2017, his work explores the universal patterns of change and the monumental shifts occurring around the world. And Stav Struz Boutrous has been awarded the Bloom Prize winner for Sepia, a solo piece that draws on her family’s Georgian roots, and reclaims a conventionally masculine dance, the traditional Georgian folk dance Khorumi. Stav Struz Boutrous contrasts this martial dance with feminine tenderness. The productions were judged live by a jury featuring Dame Arlene Phillips, Karthika Naïr, PJ Harvey and chaired by Professor Christopher Bannerman, who presented the winners with a trophy at the ceremony. Professor Christopher Bannerman said: "We are delighted to be awarding these two prizes to Christos Papadopoulos and Stav Struz Boutrous. Over the last ten days we've seen such a wide range of visions, all realised to an exceptionally high standard, so we extend our congratulations to all those who presented work. Each of the seven choreographers represents not only a very distinctive voice, but comes from such distinctive contexts. It made the judging process unique, but also uniquely difficult. 🌹 About the Rose International Dance Prize 🌹 A total of 7 shortlisted choreographers were nominated across 2 categories: the Rose category for established choreographers presenting a full-length performance of 50 minutes or longer, and the Bloom category, for emerging choreographers with a maximum of ten years’ experience. Staging their productions in our Sadler's Wells Theatre, the Rose category included Lia Rodrigues, Kyle Abraham, Marco da Silva Ferreira and Christos Papadopoulos, while in the Lilian Baylis Studio, the Bloom category featured Stav Struz Boutrous, Wang Yeu-Kwn / Shimmering Productions and Leïla Ka. The Rose International Dance Prize has been made possible by a generous donation to Sadler’s Wells from an anonymous individual who chose the name Rose for the prize. The donation will fund 10 iterations in total over 20 years, which positions it alongside awards like the Oscars and the Booker Prize as being both truly global and impactful to the choreographic community.
