SILO Dance Fest is now receiving applications from emerging choreographers for curated performances October 9-10, 2026. Applications close July 6, 2026. Selected choreographers will receive 10 free hours of rehearsal space, and the opportunity to present their work in 3 fully produced shows. They will also receive tech time in the theater, lighting design consultation, as well as free photo and video of the performance.

SILO is a space where new work can take shape, be supported, and be seen. Our goal is to provide a fully produced stage, giving choreographers the opportunity to present their work with care and intention.
