Emerging Dance Artists: Spring Forward 2027 Opportunity, Dublin

Aerowaves: Call for Dance Artists for Aerowaves Twenty27 (Ireland) Individuals / Organisations&Collectives

Aerowaves is seeking 20 emerging choreographers based in geographical Europe to apply to become an Aerowaves artist, with the opportunity to have their work presented at the Spring Forward festival on 14–17 April 2027 in Limerick (Ireland), and also by many of Aerowaves’ partners around Europe.

Aerowaves promotes their work for a year, creating opportunities to perform with their partners. Choreographers apply to the programme with a short, finished work.

Everyone who applies to Aerowaves has the chance to have their work programmed by the partners of the network, whether or not they are selected as Aerowaves artists. Around 100 performance opportunities are guaranteed by the partners and supported by Aerowaves each year. Selected applicants will have their work promoted by Aerowaves via its website for one year by an artist profile, with images, video and press coverage all in one place.

Eligibility requirements include:

Applicants must be resident in geographical Europe to apply. Due to the exceptional situation caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Aerowaves partners have decided to not accept applications of works made in Russia and Belarus.

Applicants may apply with only one work per year.

The work submitted must have been produced in geographical Europe.

Aerowaves is a platform for short works– the work must be 15–40 minutes in length.

The work must be finished and have been presented to the public which can include a studio sharing– work in progress or rehearsal footage are not eligible.

The work should be easily included in a double or triple bill and have simple technical requirements.

Works created for public/non-conventional spaces and outdoors are welcome.

For the presentation of a work at Spring Forward, a fee is paid, plus expenses including travel (within Europe), hotel and a per diem/hospitality for each team member.
