The Fish Factory Creative Centre of Stöðvarfjörður operates from a former fish processing facility in a remote fjord in East Iceland, a site that has long functioned as a haven for creative experimentation and cross-disciplinary exchange. Its residency program is predicated on the value of isolation—not as deprivation but as a condition for sustained, undistracted work. For dance artists, this context offers a rare opportunity to step outside the urban infrastructures that typically shape production and presentation, and to engage with a landscape and community that have historically drawn visual artists, writers, and performers. The November 2026 residency is aimed at dance artists seeking a period of focused development. While the call does not specify provisions such as stipend, housing, or studio access, the centre is known for providing basic facilities and a supportive environment. The curatorial vision encourages proposals that engage with the site, its history, or the broader context of contemporary dance. This is not a residency oriented toward finished product or public performance; rather, it prioritizes process, research, and the generative potential of place. Artists are invited to consider how the stark, inspiring environment of Stöðvarfjörður might inform their practice—whether through embodied research, site-responsive movement, or cross-disciplinary dialogue with other residents. The residency is best suited to those who can work independently and who value time, space, and community over material resources. The application deadline is 31 October 2026.
