For the first time, Tangaj Collective launches an open call for a repertoire workshop that will take place 25–30 May 2026, in Bucharest, Romania. The Tangaj Collective is looking for performers that want to explore their working method, as well as to be part of their upcoming projects.
The workshop introduces a set of chrono-poetical tools that decentralise the body and place it in ongoing dialogue with its inner processes and the surrounding world. Participants explore cyborg forms of embodiment, moving beyond fixed ideas of anatomy, control, and identity. Inspired by systems of distributed intelligence, the workshop offers movement tools that invite the body to shift, reshape, and discover new ways of responding to its environment. References range from the adaptive behaviour of an octopus to the complex networks formed by gut bacteria, opening up imaginative pathways for movement research. Tasks emphasise breath work, volumetric movement, and speed modulation, allowing dancers to distort, fold, and extend the body through time.
A total of 16 participants will be selected; 10 dancers from Romania and 6 dancers from other European countries. Participation in the workshop is free of charge. At the end of the workshop, at least two dancers will be selected for future collaboration opportunities. The prospected periods are specified in the application form.
Participation in the workshop is open to all applicants; however, priority may be given to dancers who are interested in potential future collaborations with the collective.
International participants will receive travel and accommodation support of up to 550 EUR (transportation, shared room with twin beds).
