Deadline for applications: 17 May 2026

TOWARDS:2026 is a cycle of intensive workshops organised by Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts (Sweden) that includes physical praxis, evening lectures, video screenings, and live performances. It’s the metaphor of aiming at something – to expose and engage ourselves in physical investigations and conceptual challenges that can foster creativity and encourage discoveries.

TOWARDS:2026 see pedagogy as a continuous intellectual provocation, an occasion for inspiration through paradoxes and awakenings and as a desire to overturn common sense and question what we have learned.

Over the years, TOWARDS: has welcomed an outstanding list of artists and choreographers, including Julyen Hamilton, German Jauregui Allu, Judith Sanchez Ruiz, Frey Faust, Laura Aris, David Zambrano, Francesco Scavetta, Xavier le Roy & Scarlet Yu and Meg Stuart.

This year TOWARDS: program, among others artists, is inviting the dramaturg Guy Cools (CA/BE) and this workshop is the only one that Guy Cools is delivering in Europe in 2026.
