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.
