22 candidates, from 11 countries, have been selected for the Finals of the Prix de Lausanne that will take place today, Saturday 4 February 2023 (and streamed live – links below), after a week of lessons and coaching sessions.
82 candidates from around the world have performed on the stage of the Beaulieu Theatre during the selections that took place on Friday. During the week, they rehearsed with top international dance professionals. The 10 jury members had the opportunity to observe the candidates many times before revealing their final choices. During the selections, the young dancers performed one classical and one contemporary variation.
The dancers' potential was assessed by considering their “technical facility, talent, ability to give an imaginative and sensitive response to the music and to communicating clear movements”. They had to show proficiency both in the classical repertoire as well as the contemporary pieces by Mauro Bigonzetti, Kinsun Chan, Wayne McGregor, Maurice Béjart and those of the two winners of the 2022 Young Creation Award, Milla Loock and Luca Branca.
The jury this year is presided over by Jean-Christophe Maillot – these are the 22 Finalists the jury has chosen for the Prix de Lausanne 2023:
