Round Table Talk with PRAXIS Trondheim
Wednesday 23.11.2022 kl 18-20 at kulturarena HAVET
- Free event -

Welcome to an open discussion about collaboration in the performing arts field and how to join forces for a rich and creative work environment in Trondheim.

How do different artists work with their own performing practices?
How to make a practice accessible to other movement practitioners, in addition to opening up for an interdisciplinary approach and a broader network?
What can we learn from each other?
What are the benefits and challenges of sharing artistic practice?
What is needed to create a strong network of collaborators in Trondheim?
How to build a community of professional artists from different disciplines who work with movement-based practices in Trondheim?

We want to discuss these questions and more during the Round Table with Praxis Trondheim and invite you to an open conversation spiced with some practical examples and movement invitations.
