the ceremony of the 2004 Nijinsky Awards was held on December eighteen at the Forum Grimaldi in Monte Carlo. The most coveted prizes were awarded to Nicolas Le Riche of the Ballet de l'Opera National de Paris and the Romanian performer Alina Cojocaru of the London Royal Ballet in the masculine and feminine dancer classes.

The multimedia forum constituted an innovative way to steer dance beyond bounds of gravity and scenic space restraints, bonding new ties with other arts - music, film, visual arts.The multimedia projects brought back together choreographers, stage designers, musicians, graphic artists and so on. Three forms were accepted : software, live choregraphic pieces making use of numeric devices and choreographic installations.

There were 142 candidates from 29 countries. The SACD prize got given to the unfinished project'Donât ask the Blond' activated by Cosmin Manolescu in partnership with Kira Riikonen and Roberto Casarotto. The project reunites the collective work of choreographers and other artists from Finland, Italy and Romania and will be developed in 2005. The final show will be accompanied by visual and sonorous creations. 10 persons from the fans will be invited to partake of the performance each time. The premiere will be in Finland, in July 2005.

The section Dance on Screen was intended to offer to audiovisual producers and dance companies a chance to meet partners like directors of holidays, theatre programmers, TV broadcasters, general and specialised media journalists with the view of future project development, promotion and marketing.

the outcome of the ADVANCE Project were presented at a conference during Monaco Dance Forum. This project was instituted three years ago by the world Organization for the Transition of professional Dancers ( IOTPD ) trying to improve the problems met by the professional dancers when transitioning to a post-dance career.

On December 14 and 15, a hundred pre-professional dancers selected from across the world had the opportunity to obtain their first full time contract on the 1st Job Audition. The audition consisted of one classical ballet class and a latest workshop with an invited choreographer. The first Job Audition finished with the Bursary Awards rite which took place on December 16 at'Espace Karrement' ( Grimaldi Forum ) in the presence of H.R.H. Princess Caroline of Hanover.

Princess Caroline, who is president of the Monte Carlo Ballet, set up by Princess Grace, has worked hard to fulfil her mother's dream about making dance an essential part of Monaco's cultural life. The most important moments of the Forum, terminating with the Nijinsky Awards night at the Salle des Princes of the Grimaldi Forum, were marked by her presence.
