Open Stage
We realize how important it is to be able to show who you are and what you can do, or to try something out in front of an audience to see if it works. During the Open Podium, ISH gives creators and performers the opportunity to present their own work, lasting up to 10 minutes, to an audience of friends, colleagues, and interested parties at De Sloot.
The theatre space has basic amenities for light and sound so we can ensure that the evening looks and sounds brilliant. The atmosphere is informal, and the space will remain open after the presentations to chat and discuss.
The next Open Podium will be announced soon.
Signing up for Open Podium
There is room for 6 to 8 participants per edition of Open Podium. A selection will be made among the applications based on the following criteria:
- Dance styles that are in line with ISH's artistic profile
- Diversity of the programme (solo/duets/group pieces...)
- We prefer to give places to people who have not participated before
Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to register for this edition.

- You have an existing piece of up to 10 minutes.
- You are at least 16 years old.
- You are available for the technical rehearsal days and the performance day.
What we offer
- You will have the opportunity to perform for an audience at our location in De Sloot.

- A video recording of your performance that you may use for your own channels.
