Citadel Dance Exchange
In collaboration with The National Ballet of Canada’s Creative Action Programme
A joint initiative from Citadel + Compagnie and The National Ballet of Canada’s Creative Action programme, Citadel Dance Exchange is seeking proposals from local professional dance artists for new and existing works that will benefit from presentation in an intimate theatre. Submitted works can be either mid-length (25 – 35 minutes), or full-length (45 – 60 minutes).
What is Citadel Dance Exchange?
Citadel Dance Exchange a two-week celebration of dance that brings together artists from Toronto and Montréal to facilitate interprovincial dialogue in dance. Launched in 2023, Citadel Dance Exchange will feature six works by Toronto-based artists, alongside works by Montréal-based artists invited by Citadel + Compagnie, and will be presented at The Citadel: Ross Centre for Dance, April 6 – 17, 2027.
This call is open to Toronto-based artists at all stages of their careers and aims to support artists, companies or collectives new and existing works that will benefit from presentation in an intimate theatre. If you think the resources made available through this programme would support you in taking the next step in your artistic development, please apply. Six projects will be selected. Projects that will thrive in a festival environment are encouraged. It is essential that projects have minimal technical requirements and can operate within a ‘black box’ style theatre space.
Selections will be made by The National Ballet’s Open Space Selection Committee and evaluated based on artistic merit, originality and viability within a multi-artist event. The committee will look at applications in relation to one another with a curatorial approach.
