OPEN CALL: Compass Stage at ‘Tranås at the Fringe’

Compass will be present during this year’s Tranås at the Fringe with an event on 7 July 2022, showcasing works from young and emerging dance artists.

We have launched an open call for the Compass Stage, which will feature a selection of performances and an artist talk.

Tranås at the Fringe is a multidisciplinary arts festival in the small town of Tranås (Sweden), a charming place on the edge of lake Sommen, surrounded by the woodlands of Småland.

For eight days, artists from Sweden and other countries from different disciplines in literature, film and performing arts meet and put on about 100 events on 2-9 July 2022.

Artists aged 15-25 with a performance between 15 and 30 minutes long are encouraged to apply. Your performance can be a work-in-progress.

To apply, fill in the form here, including two videos:
Video 1 - footage of the work you are applying with (either from a performance or rehearsal) please make sure that the video features the work as you would like to present it at Tranås at the Fringe and that the video is in quality good enough to feature your proposal well.

Video 2 - up to one minute talking about the work you are applying with and artistic motivation

Compass Stage will take place on 7 July at 17:00 hrs. The planned venue has tiered seating and a front-on audience.

Selected artists will have their travel within Sweden and accommodation covered (for up to three people per group) and will receive a fee for their performance of 1000 kr per artist (up to three artists per group - including the choreographer if they are not one of the performers) plus moms when applicable.

Application is open to COMPASS members - it is free to sign up here.

Once you are a member, you can apply here.

The application deadline is 27 May (23:59 CEST).
Decisions will be shared by 7 June.

A mixed curation committee with established professionals and young and emerging artists will choose the works for the Compass Stage.
