The aim of the project is to develop artistic thinking and extend the production and performance cycle of contemporary dance in Nordic countries. In its current state, the initial production of dance works is expensive, life cycles are short, and few works find their way to wider dissemination and meet larger audiences. This project responds to this challenge.
