Katapult will offer discounted packages for the use of its studios. The time is available exclusively for artistic rehearsals and creation processes in the fields of contemporary circus, dance, and theatre.
In 2025, Katapult is launching a new format called “Rohmaterial” to showcase early-stage circus or interdisciplinary shows. We’re looking for 2-3 shows (20-30 minutes each) for four dates in 2025. The show can be a work-in-progress or an excerpt, but we require a full-length video.
Shows with 1-3 performers can apply. Due to our limited budget, the salary will be 310€ net per person. After the show, we offer a guided feedback round with the audience and the chance to incorporate this feedback during rehearsal in our space free of charge during two days (á 5 hours) in the following week.
The call is open to all Berlin-based artists. BIPoC, queer and artists with disabilities are very welcome to apply.
We have two open calls for 2025 dates:
Deadline: 03.03.2025 for shows on 26.04. & 14.06.
Deadline: 30.06.2025 for shows in August and October.
You will receive a response one week after the deadline.
The Katapult team will select shows based on quality, discipline, number of artists, and overall atmosphere to create a diverse mix for each evening.
Please specify your preferred dates or if you’re available for both.
