Silt: Freshwater Edition
April 1 & 2
2026

Silt is an evening of performance. Through a public open call, four artists are each provided with 15 minutes to present an action, event, performance. Silt was originally started for dance, movement, and performance artists; however, it is open to everyone regardless of artistic or personal identifications. The aim of Silt is to provide participants with an accessible low stakes stage for experimentation and expression.

Applications are Open
If you experience any barriers to filling out the application please reach out to us at tuyavalecollective(at)gmail.com
As curators, we hope to support artists that have been underrepresented. We are excited by applications that express experimental or hard to define ideas. We value first iterations, rough draft ideas, and polished performances. For this edition we are curious about proposals that challenge traditional theatre spaces such as the Winchester Theatre.
​
​Silt provides minimum technical support. We do not have access to a lighting or sound booth.
