New large-scale joint programme of residencies in 2025

Thora 1
Together with a field of strong performing arts organisations, UP opens for more than 200 weeks of paid residency programmes in the period 2025-27. It will take place at Thoravej 29, where a shared black box and studio will open as part of a new community.

Together with UP's colleagues in HAUT, fix+foxy, Sort/Hvid and Toaster, we are moving the performing arts and performance art field into Thoravej 29.

Through new coordinated efforts, we will together lift the independent performing arts field. Each organisation will contribute with its own professional content to a varied range of activities in the new premises at Thoravej 29.


"A community for radical transformation where we experiment with formats and collaborate to create what doesn't already exist"
Thoravej 29

– This is how Thoravej 29 is described, which in 2025 will open its doors to a new professional community and meeting place for innovative people, groups and organisations working with democracy, social and digital innovation, sustainability, politics and art.

The Bikuben Foundation has selected the partners for the contribution of the performing arts at Thoravej 29 and makes the collaboration possible. Read more at the Bikuben Foundation about the background for the selection and the ideas behind the collaboration.

Head of UP, Anne Dalby, says about the new collaboration:
"I really believe we can make a difference when we join forces for the first time in a well thought-out and multi-voiced effort. We can learn not only from each other, but also from the many other good forces at Thoravej 29 that can inspire us to think beyond our own sector."
– Anne Dalby

Initially running from 2025-27, the programme will consist of a wide range of residencies focusing on everything from artistic development to entrepreneurship and innovation programmes. These residencies are offered by:

  • UP - The Development Platform for Performing Arts
  • HAUT
  • Sort/Hvid
  • fix+foxy
  • Toaster

While our colleagues in the project offer courses that reflect their expertise, methods and focus, UP will offer a course in strategic development of business models and innovation for performing artists.

Such a focus, we at UP believe, can help strengthen the independent performing arts' visions, ambitions, self-understanding and role in society as relevant and valuable.

At UP, we look forward to announcing the first open calls in early January, and we encourage everyone to follow our partners' many exciting offers.
