Motion Shorts Call Out
Motion Shorts is a new Candoco programme showcasing dance made for phones, social platforms and digital audiences.
We are interested in new aesthetics, new perspectives and short-form work that connects movement and film.
Films will be selected by a Candoco Artistic Assembly and each selected film will receive £500.
Selected work will also:
- Receive support from Candoco around Access where needed.
- Become part of a growing collection of short-form work by D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists.
- Introduce your work to Candoco, our partners and new audiences.
