WALTER-FINK-AWARD OF THE ZKM
FOR DANCE, ELECTROACOUSTIC MUSIC AND MEDIA

Deadline is June 30, 2010

Call for entries

Innovations in composition often arise from the combination of sound
gesture and physical movements. Dance and contemporary music are
examples for this since Igor Strawinskys »Sacre« or John Cages works for
Merce Cunningham Dance Company. But how can the relation between dance
and contemporary music be define seeing interactive media in our 21st
century?

The patron Walter Fink tries to find answers to this question by
founding the »Walter-Fink-Award of the ZKM for Dance, Electroacoustic
Music and Media« for the ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics.
Electronic and electroacoustic music, new media and dance/body shall go
into a symbiosis and bring together creature movements with advanced
sound processing and performance technics. In between this adjustment,
the human body shall be the creative element, which, through the
choreography, controls and creates the art in the moment of the
performance. The award with a sum of 10.000 EUR is going to be
advertised internationally for the second time in 2010.
