Choreography Competition – Semi-Finals

International Choreography Competition – MASH Dance House

The International Choreography Competition of MASH Dance House is held this year for the 11th time. The competition presents short works of up to 15 minutes by independent choreographers from around the world.

This year, ten pieces will be presented from Hong Kong, Cameroon, China, Israel, Brazil, Taiwan, and Germany.

The jury includes representatives from Germany, Estonia, Israel, Hungary, and the United States.
