Groundwork Performers

Groundwork Dance Festival is an ethically non-curated, participation-based festival rooted in equity of access and trust in artists. Programming is first come, first programmed. We aim to include as many dance and movement artists as possible within the festival structure.

Groundwork offers two performance formats:

• Five-minute works (20 slots available)
  These works can be at any stage of development.

• Longer-format works (up to 6 slots available)
  These works should be further along in development or complete, and may be 10–30 minutes in length. While our initial plan was for 20-minute works, we recognize that artists are at different stages and welcome flexibility within this range.

This year, all work must be PG or suitable for a family audience.

You may express interest in one or both formats. You may not be accepted to both as we aim to program as many artists as possible.

For transparency, Groundwork is currently an unfunded, independent festival. We will confirm artist fees if and when funding becomes available.
