As the Danish partner of iCoDaCo 2024–2027, CuntsCollective invites choreographers, dance, technicians, multidisciplinary artist and performance artists to take part in this Creative Europe-funded project connecting artists from 12 European countries.

Over four years, we aim to question and investigate the possibilities of dance and movement-based performance, exploring ways of creating, sharing, and archiving artistic research through collective and experimental practices.

This second open call offers the chance to take part in one of 15 residencies hosted in Denmark, each one a unique opportunity to explore how dance and performance can reflect and reshape the world around us.

About the Residencies

​​

Themes range from sound and music to light, from dramaturgy to movement material, touching on all the elements that inform, disrupt, and inspire choreographic work today. 

Each residency dives into a core element of performance-making, inviting participants to explore, expand, and deconstruct.
These are not production residencies, but open laboratories dedicated to artistic investigation, collective reflection, and experimentation.

You are invited to bring your own practice into the space. We ask:
How do you work with this theme already?
What questions do you wish to open?
What do you want to explore and investigate?

This is a place to share and reshape knowledge, together.

​
