Prix de Lausanne
September 27 – 29, 2024
The Prix de Lausanne is thrilled to announce that an Asia-Pacific Preselection will be held in Macau from 27 to 29 September 2024.
In a valued collaboration with SJM Resorts, S.A., an owner and operator of integrated resorts and luxury hospitality services in Macau, they are pleased to announce a significant opportunity for dancers from the Asia-Pacific region. For the first time since 2022, the Prix de Lausanne is holding a preselection in Asia, and for the very first time in the city of Macau SAR, China, highlighting its dedication to nurturing artistic talent and expanding opportunities within the global dance community. The preselection will be taking place at the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau, where up to 4 chosen dancers will have all expenses paid to participate in the 2025 Prix de Lausanne competition.
I am deeply aware of the rich pool of dance talent in the Asia-Pacific region, which is an integral part of the global dance community. It is both exciting and an honor to conduct our preselection for the first time in the exceptional setting of Macau. This new initiative allows us to directly engage with the extraordinary talent in this region. We are also immensely grateful for the support of our sponsor, SJM Resorts, S.A., whose partnership enhances our efforts to foster artistic excellence and provide transformative opportunities for these emerging artists. Kathryn Bradney, Artistic & Executive Director of the Prix de Lausanne
