Reporter: What are the criteria to ensure and evaluate the professionalism of this year's Vietnam Dance Week?
Tuyet Minh Power Plant: Vietnam Dance Week 2023 was officially kicked off from July 15 and will run until the end of October 7, which is nearly 29 months with three rounds of competitions: Preliminary, Semi-Final and Final.
It is a fact that our country has many talented dancers who have won high prizes and gold medals at professional competitions and shows, but are not well known to the public. Part of the reason is that their way of thinking and doing art has not caught up with the trend, and is still limited in the application of technological achievements to support the building and spreading of personal brands associated with their careers. mine.
That's why right from the preliminary round of Vietnam Dance Week with the 24 Second Video Challenge in an online format, the organizers asked participants to show who they are and where they are. The criteria of who you are is expressed through the choice of dance genre and language. As for the criteria for where they are, the participants' performances must be linked to the cultural landmarks so that when the product spreads on digital platforms, it will introduce the beauty of the identity of the regions of Vietnam. Male.
This is also a way to spread the beauty of culture, tourism, and the image of Vietnamese people through dance. Thus, the professionalism of Dance Week is built on specific activities, both towards the quality factor and towards the effectiveness of communication and promotion.
Reporter: Vietnam Dance Week 2023, oriented by the Vietnam Dance Artists Association, will become an annual art rendezvous for not only domestic artists but also international artists?
Tuyet Minh Power Plant: Through dance art, a language without borders, the organizers also hope to be able to strengthen diplomatic relations with many countries around the world to increase cohesion and mutual understanding.
The dance art of each country always preserves the cultural identity of that country, so it is impossible to say that the dance art of this country is better than that of another. Therefore, international dance troupes are invited to participate in Vietnam Dance Week with the spirit of performing at the opening and closing ceremonies the best of their country's dance art.
We do not organize it as a contest but in the form of a festival to open up opportunities for cooperation, exchange and study for Vietnamese and international artists. However, artists or groups of artists that follow that dance troupe still have the right to register to participate in independent contest categories with rules and regulations such as ballet, contemporary dance, etc. This is a very clear and fair criterion. flat that Vietnam Dance Week is all about.
PV: Thank you very much!
