Open call

Creating something is trial and error. Sometimes you delete, sometimes you succeed.

COME SEE, COME SA is a new development trajectory for makers in which Danspunt focuses on creators who have already made something, but are still searching for their artistic voice and are at the beginning of building their network.

Danspunt is looking for 4 makers (or small collectives) who want to grow from a 10 to 15-minute work-in-progress into a short performance of 20 to 30 minutes.

During the trajectory, you will have the opportunity to present your work to a professional feedback team, collaborate with a coach, receive technical support, begin building your network, and - cherry on top get the chance to perform for an audience at Campo Nieuwpoort (Ghent) during the Ghent Dance Days (Gentse Dansdagen).

Who is it for?

  • This performance opportunity is aimed at individual makers and small collectives who are ambitious but are currently still working in a non-professional context. As a maker or collective, you are still searching, just starting to build your network, eager to develop your own artistic language, and looking to deepen your creative work.
  • You are 18+ and based in Flanders or Brussels.

Who is it not for?

  • You have never created a work before.
  • You cannot apply if your creation has already been supported by CODE DANS+ (Danspunt). You may apply if you have participated in MaakPlaats (Danspunt).
  • This open call is not intended for dance schools or groups, companies, groups of amateur dancers, or organizations working with amateur dancers. A separate open call for this target group will be organized in 2027.
  • Individuals or organizations that are funded within the professional arts sector.

Important to know

  • This program is primarily aimed at projects that have not yet received support through a program/trajectory, partner, or grant that provides financial support or offers a performance opportunity. Have you already received support but would still like to apply for COME SEE, COME SA? If so, please explain in your application why you believe you are still eligible.
  • Only one application per choreographer/collective.
  • Your creation is not part of a graduation or school project.
  • COME SEE, COME SA is organized biennially by Danspunt.
