†Monaco Dance Forum 2004, which will take place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco from December 14th to 18th is a unique and multidisciplinary event devoted to the dance world in the broad sense. The multimedia sector of Monaco Dance Forum 2004 is notably intended to reflect the concrete reality of professional concerns and current experimentations in dance in the world of digital arts and multimedia, but also to boost initiatives and to place them in an economic perspective.

It is organized around the following points:
a)††††††A worldwide call for multimedia choreographic projects and digital tools
b)††††††Installations;
c)††††††Live performances;
d)††††††Workshops, seminars and conferences allowing artists, theorists, computer specialists and media representatives to speak about their experiences and to reflect on the artistic and professional perspectives of this area.

The third Monaco Dance Forum's call for multimedia projects is launched among choreographers, scenographers, computer graphic artists and multimedia authors for three types of project:
1) Softwares :
- Notation, help to the creation and to the writing,
- Modelling of the body and the costumes,
- Scenography,
- Interactive systems,
- Music and sound,

2) Live performances :
- Interactive works,
- Digital choreography,
- Dance and video,
- Net choreography

3 ) Choreographic installations :
- Video installations,
- Interactive installations,
- Scenographic installations,
- Net choreography,

This call for projects is not a competition but an enhancement of the multimedia works and the digital choreographic production such as it exists today towards the public and the professionals. It gives the creators an opportunity to present and promote their works. It is launched to professionals as well as students.
The candidates must present either a project not yet begun, or a work in progress, or a lay out. †The projects must be new and unpublished and must have never been presented in Monaco Dance Forum.
The projects must be submitted to Monaco Dance Forum by 2004 May 31st at the latest. †An international jury will select the 40 best projects. These projects will be held on the basis of a evaluation grid based on the following criteria :
1 -†††††Global coherence of the proposition,
2 -†††††Artistic degree of innovation (presence of the live body, relation created between the real and virtual dancers, creation of a choreographic space?),
3 -†††††Degree of technical innovation,
4 -†††††Relation with the public.
The choices will be made according to the proposed artistic and choreographic approaches. †The authors of these projects will be invited to present their works in Monaco Dance Forum 2004 to a public of producers, curators and gallery owners.
