IN PROCESS - Aarhus 

[Deadline 12-03-2021]


With "IN PROCESS - Aarhus", HAUT and Åbne Scene will continue their collaboration and create a framework for a performing arts experiment that examines what artistic cross-pollination can take place when Copenhagen-based artists travel across the Great Belt to meet the artistic community in Aarhus. 

During the residency in Åbne Scene’s black box, the artistic team will have two separate meetings with the Aarhus-based artists or professionals that can enrich their artistic process. In addition to the possibility of sharing the artistic material with other professionals/artists, the two meetings will include an informal conversation over dinner that HAUT and Åbne Scene will host. "IN PROCESS - Aarhus" will result in a public work-in-process sharing for an audience and colleagues as well as a moderated feedback conversation. 

"IN PROCESS - Aarhus" is for professional performing artists and choreographers based in Copenhagen that are in the early stages of developing a project or idea for the stage who need black box facilities and professionals to spar with. In your application, we ask you to include which Aarhus-based artists or professionals that could be relevant for your artistic work. If you tell us which areas of expertise you are looking for, Åbne Scene and HAUT can help you find the relevant people to spar with, should you not know which names to look for.
