Open Call - Performance Opportunity

Open call/performance opportunity: Friday 14 August 2026 Celebrating the in-between at Vondelpark Openluchttheater, Amsterdam. Curated by Athina Liakopoulou (Modern Bruises)

“What happens in between how we dance in our living room and what we share on stage?”

Inviting performers, artists, movers and collectives to send in their performances/projects for an evening celebrating dance, movement, and human connection. This event explores the space between dance as an art form and dance as a form of expression and connection. Between the performer as a dancer and the performer as a person. The space between performer and audience, between being moved by watching or moving yourself. We are looking for works that reimagine what dance and movement can become.

We welcome out-of-the-box proposals: performances, participatory concepts, site-specific works, improvisation, hybrid practices, and audience-led experiences. Projects can vary in duration, style, space (considering the possibilities of the stage and the context of the public realm/surroundings of the Vondelpark Openluchttheater).

We are especially interested in works that invite interaction, participation, play, collective energy, or new ways of gathering/connecting together through movement.

• performance date: 14th of August, 20:30-22:00
