UNAPOLOGETIC REGISTRATION

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE PART OF A DANCE PRODUCTION AND PERFORM ON STAGE ALONGSIDE QUEER PROFESSIONAL DANCERS?

Are you between 16 and 25 years old?

Are you queer or questioning?

We’re creating a dance show that will premiere in autumn 2027 and then go on tour.

No dance experience is needed, and you can take part regardless of your physical abilities.

We strive to create spaces with as little discrimination as possible. All rehearsal and performance venues are wheelchair accessible.

Participation is free.

Are you between 26 and 29 years old but still want to take part? You’re welcome to apply, but applicants aged 16 to 25 will be given priority.

How does it work?

One rehearsal per week from February to August
One rehearsal weekend
One-week dance camp
Premiere in autumn 2027
Further performances in Zurich, Lucerne, Bern and Basel

> Participation is free

> We cover public transport costs

> All bodies are welcome

> All venues are wheelchair accessible

> No previous dance experience is needed

We rehearse once a week from February until the summer holidays in July/August 2027. There will also be one rehearsal weekend and a one-week camp during the summer holidays.

After that, we’ll celebrate our premiere in Zurich! We’ll then perform the piece in Lucerne, Bern and Basel.

Participation is free, and we’ll cover your public transport costs to the camp and to performances in the other cities.

There will be a rehearsal group in each of the four cities: Zurich, Bern, Basel and Lucerne. You can choose which city you’d like to rehearse in. During the camp, all groups will come together, and we’ll perform as one ensemble.

Application and selection

UNAPOLOGETIC aims to create an empowering space for young queer and questioning people. Dance experience, personal circumstances and financial resources should not determine whether you can take part.

As places are limited, we unfortunately cannot guarantee a place to everyone who applies.

Who can apply?

You can apply if you are queer or questioning, at least 16 years old on 9 August 2027 and no older than 29 on 25 January 2027.

Applicants aged 16 to 25 will be given priority, as part of the project’s funding is specifically intended for young people up to the age of 25.

How are places allocated?

First, we check whether applicants meet the formal requirements. If we receive more applications than there are available places, we consider your age, motivation, availability and commitment.

The aim is not to assess your dance skills or how convincing your application is, but to understand what UNAPOLOGETIC could mean to you and how we can create an empowering space.

What happens if you don’t get a place?

You will be placed on the waiting list for your chosen location. If a place becomes available, you may be offered a spot. We may also offer you a place at another location. Please note that we cannot cover travel costs for weekly rehearsals.

Questions or need help with your application? Feel free to get in touch!

Application form

Accessibility

We want UNAPOLOGETIC to be accessible to as many people as possible. We recognise the intersectional realities of people’s lives and aim to consider accessibility at every level, from the very beginning.

Awareness

Each rehearsal location is led by two to three queer professional dancers and cultural practitioners. The facilitators are sensitised to queer issues, anti-racism, anti-ableism and anti-fat bias. Our project team is diverse and committed to inclusion.

We have an advisory team with professional knowledge and lived experience of different forms of discrimination. This team is not involved in the artistic process but supports the project team on questions of accessibility and anti-discrimination. It also serves as a point of contact for all project participants who wish to raise a concern or make a complaint.

Language

Rehearsals take place in spoken German. If desired, we can also provide instructions in both German and English. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide sign language interpretation.

Further communication is provided in writing in German or, if preferred, in English.

Accessibility of venues

All rehearsal and performance venues are wheelchair accessible and have wheelchair-accessible toilets.

There is one rehearsal location in each of the following cities: Zurich, Bern, Lucerne and Basel. You can choose which city you would like to rehearse in.

If you feel uncomfortable travelling alone in the evening, let us know. We will arrange for someone to accompany you to public transport.

If you need support organising your journey to rehearsals, the camp or performance venues, we are happy to help. Just get in touch: info@fluxcrew.com

Physical and mental well-being

If physical or mental health challenges make it difficult for you to attend all rehearsals and/or performances, we will work with you to find solutions. You are very welcome to take part even if you are unable 'to do as much' as others.

Financial accessibility

Participation is free of charge. We cover public transport costs for travel to the camp and performance venues. If travelling by public transport is not possible, we will cover the corresponding travel costs in the same way.

Further questions or concerns

If you have any requests, concerns, questions or comments regarding accessibility, please feel free to contact us at: info@fluxcrew.com

Als junge professionelle freelancer Compagnie realisieren wir Bühnenprojekte.

Wir sehen Kunst als ganzheitlich und grenzenlos an, und arbeiten spartenübergreifend, unter anderem mit Tanz, Musik, Installation, Design, Video und Poesie. Dabei ist es uns wichtig stets ein Gesamtkunstwerk zu schaffen.

FLUX crew wurde im Juli 2015 von Arlette Dellers und Pia Ringel ins Leben gerufen. Seit dem 30. Oktober 2016 bildet FLUX crew einen Verein.
