In this year of transition in leadership, the VIDF is looking closer to home for our 2025 programming. This call is for production-ready dance works, experimental installations and audience/community activations of at least 25 minutes in duration.

The VIDF invites applications from artists and organizations of all dance forms, abilities, career stages and regions from across so-called Canada.

The selection committee is made up of guest artist Michelle Olson, along with VIDF Co-Directors Deanna Peters + Victor Tran, who will program this year’s festival running March 5–15, 2025.

2–6 national artists/groups [from outside Metro Vancouver] will be programmed, with fair artist fees, travel, accommodation and per diem provided by the festival. There are 8–12 opportunities for local artists and companies [from within Metro Vancouver], with the fees paid to artists ranging from $1,600–$2,400 per performance, along with full venue, technical and marketing support.

For information on the venues pertaining to this call, please see the Roundhouse [Exhibition Hall and Performance Centre], The Annex and Woodward’s Atrium.
