We invite you to embark on a transformative journey as we seek local artists to join us for another spellbinding instalment of Alchemy Fest. This fusion and contemporary dance showcase aspires to elevate movement to an art form that defies convention and pushes the boundaries of creativity.
Alchemy Fest is an exploration of the magical synergy that arises when diverse dance styles converge. We are on the lookout for performers who are not just dancers but alchemists of movement, capable of seamlessly blending tradition and innovation. We welcome those who can infuse the ancient with the modern, the classical with the avant-garde, and create a dance narrative that transcends the ordinary.
As a participant in Alchemy Fest, you will be an integral part of a choreographic tapestry where each step, each gesture, and each emotion contributes to the alchemical transformation of the performance. This is an opportunity to showcase your skills in a space that celebrates the fusion of styles and the creation of something entirely new.
If you are a visionary dancer ready to explore the realms of possibility within the universal language of dance, we encourage you to apply. Be prepared to be part of a spectacle where movement becomes a powerful force, and where together, we unlock the secrets of transformation.
Join us on this extraordinary journey, where artistry knows no bounds, and let your dance be the catalyst for the alchemy that defines this unique and captivating performance.
Apply below and become a vital element in the magic that is Alchemy Fest.
Who can apply? Applications are open to dancers and dance groups aged with a vision to inspire audiences with unique and original choreographies. Alchemy Fest is an equal opportunity space; dancers of all backgrounds are welcome.
You don't need to be from Ottawa! Dancers from within and beyond the National Capital Region are welcome to apply.
What types of works are being considered? At this time we are curating a show dedicated to original fusion and contemporary works. In order to provide fair representation of all applicants, selected dance pieces must be five minutes in length or less.
Mark your calendar! Alchemy Fest will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at the LabO Theatre in downtown Ottawa.
This is a community event. We do our best to provide benefits for dancers participating in Alchemy Fest, but we also operate as a not-for-profit event, and so we cannot guarantee honourariums or sales-sharing will be possible.
Applications can’t be saved, and must be completed in one session.
Worried about losing your application? Consider preparing it in a document first, then copy and pasting your answers into the relevant fields.
Deadline: Applications close at 11:59 PM (23h59) on Sunday, April 19, 2026. Selected performers will be contacted in early May.
