Zodiak's call for production applications for 2020 is now open. The call is open until October 4, 2018. Preliminary applications for 2021 are also taken into consideration.
Zodiak – Center for New Dance is a progressive dance organisation and the most significant production house of contemporary dance in Finland. The mission of Zodiak is to produce, present and promote works of high artistic quality and innovation. Zodiak provides a creative environment and collegial platform for independent dance artists and groups. For the audience, Zodiak offers a versatile program of cutting-edge contemporary dance, events and activities.
The year 2020 will be different from previous years in regarde to performance spaces. Pannuhalli at the Cable Factory wont be available for performance use. Instead, Zodiak will periodically use the Theatre hall in Stoa (Itäkeskus) for large scale performances.
In the future Zodiak will produce 4 to 6 works each year within the frame of Dance House Helsinki (small and/or large stage). In this call we accept also preliminary suggestions for works to be presented in the opening seasons of Dance House Helsinki (2021–2022). Zodiak starts the planning for these seasons for its own part in good time, as the curating for the premiere seasons requires new kind of development work production and contentwise.
The full call, as well as the link to the application form can be found on our website under Call for Production Applications.
