Where can I get an idea of the Scholarship Programme, what it will be like, to measure whether this programme contributes to my further development / is a perfect contribution to my momentarily situation?

You can find all the important information on our website www.jardindeurope.eu. In the section Scholarship - Scholarship Recipients you will find a list with all former danceWEBers who have written a report about their experience during the Scholarship Programme. These reports can give you an inside perspective of how the scholarship programme will be like, how they experienced it, how they felt about it. If you want to get in closer contact you can contact them by their e-mail addresses.

What does the application form consist of?

The application form consists of 4 parts:
1.)   Personal Information
2.)   Education/Further Training, Performance activities
3.)   Artistic Statement:
       Please give an idea about your current situation of your career; describe what you’ve seen or done that
       has influenced you; what works and ideas – this can include dance and performance but also other
       related work where relevant –you’re interest in now.
       Please think about and write your artistic statement before filling in the form. Best is to copy & paste it
       into the online form, otherwise you’ll may get server-time problems.
4.)   Attachments:

What do you expect from my artistic statement?

Please describe yourself concerning your artistic style, and your artistic way of working; what does distinguish you as a dancer; why do you want to take part in the Scholarship Programme and what do you expect, what you like to get from this Programme and what you are ready to give.

Please do not write more than 3500 characters (i.e. approx. one page or 500 words).

Who can write a recommendation letter?

Recommendation letters can be written by choreographers or other dance artists you have worked with, teachers or professors who have accompanied you for a certain period or who have experienced you in your way of working. The more these people are familiar with the Scholarship Programme the better as they can measure what will be coming up to you, with what you will be confronted. (Former WEBers and artistic mentors usually have the best experience!)
