Call for Expressions of Interest: Groundwork Dance Festival

Groundwork Dance Festival

Call for Expressions of Interest

Untellable Movement Theatre and Cameo are inviting expressions of interest from dance and movement artists for Groundwork Dance Festival, a new two-day festival taking place April 11–12, 2026 in St. John’s, NL.

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.
