The second ever INSTINCT Experimental Dance Festival produced by ANIMAL Dance, will be held at Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center in Burlington VT January 4th-10th 2025! We are excited to invite the dance community of New England to apply to bring your dance offering to the 2025 festival. BIPOC encouraged to apply!

 

INSTINCT Festival brings together experimental and interdisciplinary makers working between movement and other artistic fields for a week of workshops, showcases, and exchange.  Experimental dance celebrates the weird, the wild, with an ever-changing definition of style and form. Experimental dance creates space for all types of expression, ranging from conceptual and abstract, to mythical story telling and poetic spirituality. It is a vehicle for investigation, understanding, and reimagining the complexities of each moment. Through media, music, movement and mystery, experimental artists bring the human experience into an imaginative reality, to help us all remember to ask “What else is possible?”

 

All applicants must be:

- Based in New England.  (Please note, housing and transportation is not provided.)

- 23 years old and up.

- Dance artists who are currently working in movement-based practices.

- Proposals must be for a one-time event (workshop/informal showing/jam/etc), 1.5-2 hrs in length. 

- Individual artists, collectives, multi-artist collaboratives and companies are invited to apply!

 

Deadline: September 20th, 2024 at 11:59pm EST. No late submissions will be accepted.

 

There is a $200 stipend per offering. Three artists or collectives will be selected. Notifications will be sent out by end of day September 28th, 2024.
