Open call: Male performer

Alienated |Performance Art| is an upcoming dance company in Tilburg. We are looking for 1 male performer for our new creation Gamechanger in 2027.
Gamechanger is a piece about refinding the playfulness in our rigid and profit based world. In this piece you will be working with two large referee chairs. We look for people with a specific length to fit the chairs and the work.

Apply by filling in this form.

28 July, Den Bosch
Deadline for application:
13 July 2026

We are looking for a male movers who:
– Have advanced skills in Partnering and Floorwork
– Are based in the Netherlands or Belgium
– Max  1.80m (because of the visual impact next to the chairs)

Extra practicalities:

– The second round consists of 2-3 research days, where we give time and space to work with the objects. These will take place between 3 and 7 August and will be planned with the performers.
– For this piece, we are looking for a specific type of dancer to fit the performance and vision of the piece. Therefore, typecasting plays a significant role in our decision.
