SHOW-OFF is a low-threshold platform for artists at the beginning of their careers which focuses on the process. Three artists or groups of maximum three people are selected to develop a short piece of maximum 20 minutes in March 2023 and to present it publicly three times in a workshop performance at the end.

Jessica Huber and Romain Guion will accompany the selection and the process as coaches. The selected projects will receive a stipend of CHF 1,500 per person as well as technical and dramaturgical support. Participants can also attend professional training for free during the development period.

The call for applications is aimed at dance and performance professionals who have completed their training and live in the Canton of Zurich or have a connection to Zurich.

Attendance at the kick-off meeting on February 27, 2023 as well as availability for the final rehearsal on March 23 and the performances from March 24 to 26, 2023 is compulsory for all selected artists.

Please note that the short piece ideas need to work without larger stage adjustments or props.
