Dans i Blekinge open call for performers 2026

About the Open Call

Blekinge Dansresidens is an inviting place where artists are invited to explore and focus. A space for sensitivity and nuance, a moving place in dialogue with the surroundings. The residency encourages being in the yet unknown, following intuition, and creating something previously untested rather than presenting finished works. Experienced artists as well as recent graduates, national and international applicants are welcome. The residency is run by Dans i Blekinge and takes place at Massmanska Kvarnen in Ronneby, ending with a showing during Brådjupa, Blekinge Dance Festival.
