Bains Numériques #5, Call for project proposals

For the 5th edition of the Bains numériques digital arts international festival (11-19 June 2010), the centre des arts is
organising an international competition for creations mixing “dance” and “new technologies”.

This international call for project proposals is the first step of the competition and aims at pre-selecting hybrid stage
forms, in the process of being created. After examination of the application forms, artistic committees will select eight
international projects, including one created on the African continent. These selected pieces will be presented in a
“condensed” form at the Bains numériques #5 festival from 17 to 19 June 2010. The selected teams of artists will be
auditioned by a jury, in public, over those three days. Two of the eight works presented will be awarded prizes at the
closing ceremony: one “Grand Prize” and one “Prize for Creation”, each prize being associated with a grant and
residence time at the centre des arts.
