Open Call — Fish Factory Creative Centre of Stöðvarfjörður November 2026
Overview
The Fish Factory Creative Centre, situated in the remote village of Stöðvarfjörður on Iceland's eastern coast, has established itself as a vital outpost for artistic research and cross-disciplinary exchange. Its residency program offers practitioners the rare opportunity to work in a setting defined by dramatic natural surroundings and a supportive, international community. For dance artists, this context presents a distinct framework for embodied inquiry, where isolation and landscape can inform movement research, choreographic development, or performance experimentation. The residency is open to dance practitioners across career stages, with no application fee indicated. While the specific resources and facilities for dance are not detailed in the provided information, the Centre's broader mission supports creative process and experimentation. Artists are expected to bring their own materials and may need to adapt to the available space. The residency duration and any stipend or housing provisions are not specified, and applicants should inquire directly with the organization for these details. The curatorial vision for this open call aligns with the Centre's commitment to fostering artistic development in a unique environment. Dance artists working in any genre or style are encouraged to apply, particularly those whose practice engages with site-specificity, nature, or interdisciplinary approaches. The November timing offers a period of low light and introspection, which may appeal to artists seeking a contemplative atmosphere for their work.
