Deadline: Thursday 1 June, 11:00am


Dance Base Scotland and Edinburgh International Festival are seeking 12 Scotland-based dance artists to take part in a week of artistic development with performers in
The Rite of Spring / common ground[s], the first collaboration between the Pina Bausch Foundation (Germany), École des Sables (Senegal) and Sadler’s Wells (UK), presented as part of Edinburgh International Festival this August.

This August, dancers from across Africa will come to Edinburgh to perform Pina Bausch’s acclaimed choreography of The Rite of Spring in a double bill with the duet common ground[s] by Germaine Acogny and Malou Airaudo.

The UK premiere of Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring was performed in 1978 at the International Festival and this year it returns with the original choreography and a cast of 34 specially assembled dancers from 14 African countries. In this pioneering work, on an earth-covered stage, dancers clash and engage in a wild and poetic struggle to the music of Igor Stravinsky.

In July 2023, following two successful collaborations in 2021 & 2022, Dance Base and Edinburgh International Festival will present a week of exchange and development for dance artists based in Scotland and 12 performers from the visiting company ahead of their performance in August. This is supported by British Council.

From the 24 – 28 July 2023 the dance artists will come together at Dance Base, Edinburgh, for five days of artistic development and exchange, led by Tony Mills (Artistic Director of Dance Base).
