FYI - For Your Information
Finding guidance to turn dance and performance into a career is still a struggle. That’s why FYI was born — to help you find clarity, tools, and community — without leaving home.
About the Project
FYI is a weekend-based orientation program for emerging dancers and performers aged 17 to 25, designed to guide you into the European contemporary dance scene. Across 7 weekends (from October to May), you’ll dive into full days of practice, creation, and group mentoring, working with dedicated tutors and professional guests active across Europe — all with strong ties to Piedmont.
What you’ll get: • Technique classes & Tools • Repertoire & Creation labs • Career orientation + Q&As with international artists • Audition support — including a final showreel FYI is built to support your growth — with care, structure, and a focus on real accessibility. Quick facts: • 7 weekends • 8 hours/day of dance, creation & mentoring • 2 professional guests every weekend • For dancers & performers aged 17–25 • A journey into the European contemporary dance scene Project realized thanks to the support of Officine CAOS through the open call SPAZIO SPALANCATO and our sponsor ORSO Laboratorio Caffè.
