YDC was launched as a choreography competition in 1996, providing an international platform for dance in Japan. To date, it has featured around 500 finalists. These choreographers confront society and the other, the body and artistic expression, and even now continue to develop their work in a variety of directions, both at home and abroad. This competition is a place for choreographers, dancers, and other artists to pursue composition, direction, and technique in dance, and to challenge themselves to new possibilities of artistic expression. It also serves as a platform for artistic dialogue and exchange. Yokohama Dance Collection Competition announces its open call for applications for its 31th edition.
