RAFAEL
WINS THE 2004 THE PLACE
PRIZE DANCE
The Place Prize is a bi-annual
choreographic competition
to encourage choreographers
from all over the world
to generate ideas for
short new dance works.
Rafael's winning work
E2 7SD is a duet accompanied
by a commissioned score
composed from extracts
from the dancers own diaries
by Oswaldo Macià.
"Winning the first
Place Prize, sponsored
by Bloomberg, has been
the greatest boost my
confidence could ever
receive. I was very pleased
with the work that I had
created for the competition,
but the fact that it has
been recognised in this
way by a respected group
of judges and members
of the audience is the
most rewarding experience
I have had. It is also
an affirmation that I
should continue to pursue
my dream of being a choreographer.
Right now you couldn't
meet a happier man."
Rafael Bonachela, 28 September
2004.
As winner, Rafael won
£25,000, plus a
trophy. He also won the
Bloomberg New York choice
award and a trip to the
big apple and on 5 occasions
won the audience vote
resulting in additional
prize funds of £5,000.
Over the course of the

the most audience votes.
All five finalists were
awarded special prizes
by the judges of £1,000.
