We invite Stockholm-based artists with curiosities about multidisciplinary approach, whether simple or complex, to performative and performance art to share their work-in-progress at the third edition of the ilDance Event. Artists of all biographies, life experiences, cultural and ethnic background, identities, affiliations, abilities and ages (18 and up) are encouraged to respond to this call. The deadline for the open callis 18 October 2026.
We are looking for one work-in-progress, at any stage of the process, with a multidisciplinary approach and distinct relation with/to the huWOman body. We are particularly interested in work across materials and mediums with visual, plastic, video, digital, non-human, more-than-human, post-human, and trans dimensions.
The work-in-progress will be shared at the third edition of ilDance Event on 22 November 2026, at 15:00-21:00 at CCAP in Stockholm. It will take place in the small studio at CCAP, a black box of 4X4 meter with no windows (complete darkness possible). The work-in-progress should require a simple technical setup and can be presented within a set timeframe (approx 20 min) or set up as a durational installation/exhibition which spectators/audience can visit at different moments throughout the Event. The artist will also be invited to partake in an artist talk during the Event, moderated by Israel Aloni. The talk will explore a particular concept (depending on the shared work) through which the artist and spectators/audience will also reflect on the particular work.
ilDance offers an honorarium of 2000 SEK + moms, or 2000 SEK gross salary, for the selected work. This amount is fixed regardless of the number of participants, so please take this into account when applying.
*huWOman is a term coined by Israel Aloni to challenge the passive acceptance of “human” as an inherently inclusive category, given that this unexamined acceptance often carves discrimination into our societies. HuWOman serves as a constant reminder of who is not automatically protected by the “human” category.
