JOURNEY 27/28 – A Complete Production Opportunity for Choreographers
JOURNEY 27/28 – A Complete Production Opportunity for Choreographers Jul 25, 2026 | Open Calls Journey supports selected choreographers through the complete development of a new work – from initial research and creation to rehearsal with dancers and a public premiere at Tanztage Wien Festival. Where: Bluebox Hub, Vienna in collaboration with Tanztage Wien – International Dance Festival, Vienna, Austria When: Season 27/28 Deadline for applications: 31 August 2026 Journey is a production format created by @Blueboxhub for choreographers who want to develop a new contemporary dance work from first research to a public premiere at @TAnzTAgeWien in Vienna. Rather than focusing on a single phase of development, Journey accompanies selected artists through several stages of the creative process. The programme begins with two weeks of research and daily studio access at Bluebox Hub in Vienna, with individual mentoring available in areas such as dramaturgy, funding and technical production. During the second phase, choreographers return to Vienna for two weeks of creation with a cast of Bluebox dancers, including 25 hours of rehearsal with the selected cast as well as 24 additional hours of independent studio access. The process culminates in a public premiere within Tanztage Wien, presented alongside international artists and companies. Technical support and a professional video recording of the premiere are included. Only a small number of choreographers are selected each season in order to provide individual support throughout the process. Applicants must be at least 25 years old by June 2027, work within contemporary dance, have a project idea they wish to develop, and be available for all three phases. The working language is English. How to apply: Applications are submitted through the online application form available via the APPLY NOW button on the Journey webpage: https://www.blueboxhub.eu/journey/ Applicants should submit an artistic proposal/project idea to be developed through Journey.
