Register by 10 January 2025 at office@ntl.dk
The programme will be sent out in early January 2025

The theme for workshop 1 is: A toolbox for Eternity - Workshop process in relation to getting a voice and story in the the short and long term.

In performing arts productions, we usually work towards a premiere - but if we want our work to be remembered in the decades to come, it would be a good idea to establish a good documentation practice. This allows for the works to be in an artistic cycle and to have a stronger voice in cultural policy, when our our history doesn't just disappear with those who carry the experiences in their bodies.

Are you curious about theatre and performance documentation, and do you have a desire
to get concrete tools to document the reality that you, as a theatre, work in theatre, work in and with every day? Here you have the opportunity to meet Anna Lawaetz from Det Kgl. Bibliotek, Henning Sørensen from Lokalarkiverne and a lawyer from from Danish Theatre. We will work with what is important to save for who and what methods can be good to use.

LIVING KNOWLEDGE is a project that works to promote local performing arts
and to strengthen the position of regional theatres as knowledge-producing and
and culture-bearing institutions - locally and nationally.
With the project LIVING KNOWLEDGE ARCHIVES, Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium wants to
contribute to the development of standardised models and methods for collecting
and dissemination of the practice-based knowledge and artistic documentation
produced at Danish regional theatres. Through three different workshops, we will
what a focus on documentation requires, what resources are already available and
and how to activate your archive into an artistic ecosystem.

Explore new solutions and create networks for co-operation between artists and cultural practitioners in the Nordic and Baltic region.

Network funding is part of the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture, which strengthens artistic and cultural cooperation in the Nordic region and the Baltic countries. The programme focuses on increasing the exchange of knowledge, contacts and interest in Nordic and Baltic art and culture. The Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme comprises three forms of funding: Mobility funding, Network funding and Funding for artist residencies.

Application deadlines:

10.01.2025 – 10.02.2025 15:59 (UTC +2)

Do you need advice as a self-producing performing artist, performer or producer? Then come to Drop-in-Advice at UP on the first Wednesday of every month.

Drop-in-Advice is inspired by the successful Morning Producers format in London, where it was developed by ArtsAdmin – an institution with many similarities to UP. Now we're bringing the concept to Denmark.

For Drop-In-Advice, UP's team or other experts sit in the Green Room from 10-12 in the morning, ready for professional sparring and dialogue. We make sure there is coffee on tap - and you are welcome to stay for lunch at 12 noon with everyone in the building.

You can bring your specific challenges or questions and be matched with the right advisor. From time to time we might choose a focus area, such as co-productions, internationalisation or fundraising. The format is open and we plan the duration of the advisory sessions according to attendance on the day.

Location: UP - The Development Platform for Performing Arts, Baldersgade 6, 2200 København N
