Submit a project
With our arrival in ÉDIFICE WILDER – Espace danse, our renewed artistic vision aims to support emerging, local artists (though not exclusively) in the earlier phases of creating their own performance works. We favour imaginative strategies for audience engagement and experimental work that questions traditional forms of presentation.
Depending on your profile, one of two options is available: Danses Buissonnières, for recently graduated dance artists, or the open call for local artists.
Call for artists for the 2021-2022 season
The deadline for the 2021-2022 season is April 1st, 2020. Our curating committee will make final choices and responses will be sent no later than eight weeks after the application deadline.
Priority is given to local artists. The international projects that are part of our season are carried out in collaboration with partnering organizations that are part of Tangente’s national and international networks. However, if you come to Montréal, we would be happy to meet you.

Danses Buissonnières 2020
Danses Buissonnières is an annual program presented by Tangente, dedicated to choreographers in the early stages of their career, whether they are newly graduated or self-taught.
For four nights in a row, as part of its 2020-21 season, Tangente will present the works of five selected choreographers/collectives. This program will take place in September 2020 at Édifice Wilder – Espace danse in Espace Dena Davida (Espace Vert – 65 seats).
Tangente will also assist the artists as they experience the entire process of producing, mounting, and presenting their performance. The five artists will be chosen with care after live auditions and the examination of their project by a jury of emerging choreographers with diverse artistic visions. The presented works must be no more than 10 minutes and must have been especially created for the Danses Buissonnières program.
Application for the Danses Buissonnières auditions
