Orbital Open Call – Residency for Students

Got an idea you want to try out?
Orbital is a 13-day residency where you create your own work, from first idea to a public showing.
You decide what to make. You shape the evening. You can invite and curate other work around yours.
During the process, you get feedback from Dunja Jocić and support from our team on production and how to position your work.
This is about making, testing, failing, trying again, and taking your first steps as an independent maker.
An open, informal space to experiment and share.

[Fully booked] Orbital is the Dunja Jocić Foundation’s residency program for students and emerging artists. It offers time, space, and guidance to develop choreographic ideas while also addressing presentation, promotion, and the practical skills needed as an independent maker.
