About the Open Call

DANCETOPIA is an annual gathering dedicated to contemporary dance, body-based performance, mutual learning, and dialogue between the artistic community and the public. The 2026 edition focuses on practices exploring authenticity, artifice, technology, affect, and the re-staging of past works in new contexts. The symposium features workshops, performances in theatre and alternative spaces, and a shared space for exchange.
