Aerowaves’ Springback Academy is calling for applications from dance writers for their 2025 edition in Nova Gorica and Gorizia (Slovenia/Italy), 22–26 April 2025.

Under the guidance of four professional dance writers, 10 participants will hone their critical writing skills and have the chance to create, shape and share conversations about dance. The programme is a fast-track route to gain experience and technique in responsible, effective, attractive dance journalism as well as to explore and understand the opportunities that digital publishing has to offer.

Eligibility

Springback Academy is open to writers based in Europe who are proficient in written and spoken English (not necessarily as a first language).

Support provided

Successful applicants will receive mentorship, accommodation, agreed travel costs, hospitality, a pass to the Spring Forward festival and the opportunity to participate in future Springback activities, including Springback Assemblies and contributing to Springback Magazine.
