Last chance for dance artists to apply for Resolution 2027 at The Place

DEADLINE EXTENDED!

Resolution is The Place’s annual festival celebrating new choreography and performance. It is the platform for exciting and experimental dance – a unique opportunity for emerging artists to bring bold creative ideas to life on a London stage. The 2027 festival will run from Saturday 9 January – Thursday 25 February.

They are looking for short, live works (max 25 minutes) to be performed in their black box theatre space. In 2027, artists will have the opportunity to present their work in our 288 seated auditorium, in a traditional ‘End-On’ seating configuration. All pieces in Resolution will be shared as part of a triple bill and any UK based artists working in live performance can apply.

They welcome a range of performance styles, including dance, dance theatre, physical theatre, hip hop, South Asian dance, circus, live art, performance art, and more. The most important thing is the quality of the idea. They are most excited by work that centers movement and where the body is one of the key modes of artistic exploration and expression.

There are no upfront costs to the festival, and applications are free. Artists learn from industry professionals through supportive and practical workshops.

Resolution exists to support and celebrate new ideas. It’s a well-established festival and has been running for over 30 years! They invite artists to propose exciting ideas for new work that they really believe in and use the festival as a platform to create that work.

As well as presenting work to an audience of peers, professionals and critics, the Resolution artists take part in a series of supportive and practical artist development workshops.

The next festival will take place at The Place between Saturday 9 January – Thursday 25 February 2027. The Place is London’s creative powerhouse for dance development.

The deadline is Friday 7 August 2026 at 6pm. All applicants will hear back by mid-September. Find out more here:
