Dear applicants,
We deeply regret to inform you that the festival cannot be realised in 2015 for lack of sufficient subsidies. We apologise for our late response but we have been trying to raise funds until the very last moment. Thank you so much for all the amazing proposals and your patience!
However, while there’s life, there’s hope. We definitely want to Move the Space! with you, and we are already working on new plans for next year! Please keep in mind that all the applications from 2015 will be also considered in 2016. We will keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Your Move the Space! Team

Move the Space! Is a new festival dedicated to contemporary dance
and performing arts in a very specific frame: the public space. The
public space, considered as a place of communication that generates an
enthusiasm for new experiences and exchange beyond geographical and
cultural boundaries.
The aim is to explore the potential of the urban space in a creative way and
to take a critical look at the stereotypes connected to this issue. Thus the
public places do not function as a mere setting element, on the contrary:
they are defined as an integral part of the performances. With all the risk
and unpredictable, spontaneous moments, implicated by such a process.
The performances take place outdoor only, and in all weathers.
It is not necessary that the performances are conceptualised for the
public space only. The adaption and further development of the material,
originally designed for indoor venues, can also be taken as a challenge, as
they notably display the polarity of inside and outside, private and public.
Up to seven performances will be selected from the applications by a team
consisting of three curators (experts on dance/performing arts, visual and
trans-media arts and theory). The curated performances will be presented
at open-air locations in the 2nd district of Vienna, and, if necessary,
adjusted to new venues. During the festival, each of the acts will be
performed several times (1 – 3), optionally at different places and times.
The closing day is reserved for a special programme according to the
idea of the festival: instead of `Artist Talks´, we will organise `Artist Walks´ –
combining the dialogue between the audience and the artists with mutual
exploration of the city.
