call for choreographers

The Zürich-based association TANZBACKSTUBE has announced that the third edition of our choreographic development platform BRÜCKEREI will taking place at Tanzhaus Zürich from 6 to 18 July 2026.

This year’s edition will centre on improvisation as a mode of creation and performance. The process will emphasise collective research, compositional tools, and real-time decision-making. Sketches from the research will be shared with the public during an informal showing on 18 July 2026.

For this upcoming edition, they are looking for:

• 3 choreographers (1 local, 1 national, 1 international)

• 12 Swiss-based professional dancers

• 12 local amateur dancers

BRÜCKEREI #3 will be mentored by the award-winning Swiss artist Thomas Hauert. The platform represents a unique opportunity for supraregional artistic exchange, further education in choreography, and intensive process-oriented creative research in an inclusive context.
