Open Call DRIFT

We are looking for one choreographer based in Norway to join DRIFT, a new international programme for artistic research, experimentation, and professional development.

The programme is aimed at mid-career choreographers who want to invest in a genuine research process—not a finished production. The selected artist will become part of an international cohort of ten artists and receive €20,000 in research funding, artistic mentoring, residencies, online labs, and the opportunity to present their work in progress at the Biennale de la danse in Lyon in 2027.

If you’re a choreographer based in Norway with a strong interest in artistic research and international collaboration, we hope you will apply!

Read the full open call, eligibility criteria, key dates, and application requirements, and submit your application via the DRIFT website.

The application deadline is August 31.
