UP Workspace: co-working space

UP Workspace is a modern coworking space decorated with stylish furniture and lighting. You or your group can rent an office space next to performing arts colleagues either full-time or part-time.

Access is available 24 hours a day, and we often have lunch together in the Green Room or in our cosy courtyard.

You get your own locked locker, free coffee and printing. Cleaning, maintenance and everything else is taken care of by UP - you just need to concentrate on what you're working on.

Do you need a place to focus in a quiet environment? Do you want to be part of a creative community in the centre of Nørrebro? Then UP Workspace is the place for you.

The culture in UP Workspace

Diversity – We gain the most from learning from others who do something different from us or see things differently.

Generosity and openness – An equal, sparring, generous community where people want to get to know each other and open doors for each other.

Respect for each other's time and focus and differences. We all need to be able to focus on our work and recognise that we have different needs for quiet and conversation.

Curiosity and active participation – We are curious about what else is going on and what others are doing. We actively seek to gain and share knowledge.

Shared ownership and hosting – We want everyone to feel part of a big house with a lot going on. We invite others into it and make sure they feel at home too.

The fine print

UP alone selects members for Workspace.
Members can suggest and nominate new members.
UP would like to see diversity in the composition of members, so we welcome suggestions that can contribute to this.
We reserve the right to make changes - we are developing this together and will learn together.

Who can apply?

All individuals and groups working with performing arts. - Primarily but not limited to actors in the independent, self-producing field.
NB: we do not have sound studios or workshops at UP.
