ÅBNE SCENE

[ˈɔːbnə seːnə]: open stage

WHAT IS ÅBNE SCENE?

  • Åbne Scene is an open call-based residency program for professional performing arts that supports and nurtures artistic work, and provides space for experiments and works in process.
  • Åbne Scene offers good facilities for performing arts in a technically well-equipped black box (16 m x 15 m, ceiling height: 7 m), where there is time and freedom to develop, exchange and investigate. A technical staff, who can help and give advice in the process, is affiliated to the venue.
  • Åbne Scene seeks new, surprising formats for knowledge sharing of the artistic process – both in terms of processual impacts and the effect of the experiments. In addition to the classic formats such as showcases and artist talks, this could also be workshops, networking events, seminars, artist sessions, video documentation, podcasts, academic articles, mentorship for other artists or something completely different.
  • Åbne Scene offers versatile residency opportunities – for both artistic exchange and dialogue, as well as production and workshop facilities and accommodation in guest rooms.
    Åbne Scene provides opportunities for collaborations, interaction and networking in the vibrant, creative power center Godsbanen.
