What is the Open Call Application? 

Dance Place invites artists based in the greater Washington, DC region to submit an application (or Voice Memo) for proposed projects to take place in Dance Place’s Presentation Series for our 2022-2023 season. Proposed projects can be evening-length works or an evening of short-form works. Alternatively, multiple artists/companies may apply together for a mixed-bill evening of short form works by each company. 

Who should apply for the Open Call?

Movement makers that are interested in works that are long form and short form (to discuss more about short form works, please reach out to dani tirrell) works, installations, accessible presentations and all ages presentations. Applications are not just limited to the above list, we are open to your ideas.

What is the February 23 Open Call open house? What if I’m not available that day?
