Stomping Ground – a commissioning group which Fabric is part of, alongside Creative Crawley, FESTIVAL.ORG, Festival of Thrift, Strike A Light Festival, Tramway and The Place has launched their call out for 2027.

We are looking to commission a short solo or duet created for children and tour-able to primary schools, festivals and other public spaces around the country. We welcome applications from dance artists as well as artists from other disciplines who use movement in their practice.

The selected artist(s) will receive a £20,000 commission, development support, up to 2 weeks of studio space in kind.

It will tour for five weeks as part of The Playground Tour and might be offered further touring opportunities at partners’ festivals. The piece should be ready to premiere in May 2027.

The deadline is Thursday 3 September, 12pm (midday)
