  • About the Series

  • Aeris Körper is proud to present our third annual Here&Now Dance Festival in Hamilton, Ontario, from June 5-7, 2026. This is a call for the Prospects series.

    Prospects is a signature Aeris Körper event that invites choreographers to present works-in-progress, and then pose three questions to the audience with the guidance of a discussion facilitator. The audience offers insights to their experiences and the questions the choreographer poses.

    Aeris Körper aims to support the choreographer in a key phase of their creative process; gaining understanding of what their choreography is conveying, and equipping them for the next phase of creation, with a deeper understanding of audience interpretations. 

    Presented choreographers will be offered an honorarium of $500 CAD, plus applicable taxes (if eligible).

  • Eligibility

  • Choreographers MUST identify as a Hamilton choreographer. We understand our relationship to land/location is fraught so we aim to support your self-identification  of being a choreographer who represents/serves/studies/trains/works/collaborates and/or lives in Hamilton.

    Choreographic works must be either a proposed new work OR have a specific element/section/goal that is new and needing feedback and development.

    Proposed choreography must be within the time range of 4-25 minutes in length.

    All dance or movement-based artists and performers are encouraged to apply.
