Open Nights
Every year ISH invites three new makers to develop an existing idea for a choreography into a short fifteen-minute performance. The choreographers will have the opportunity to rehearse for one week at Podium Lely and then edit and present the performance at the theater.
Applications for ISH Open Nights
ISH Open Nights offers a new generation of dance makers space each year to show their work in a professional setting. Three makers are each given a week to work out an existing idea into a 15-20 minute choreography in ISH's studio in Podium Lely, then assemble their performance with sound and light, and then present the three works in a joint program in the theater. For the realization of each of the projects, a budget is available to pay the execution costs including personnel. In addition, ISH provides content and organizational support to realize the project.
