Performing Arts Hub Norway works in collaboration with several partners nationally and internationally.
Long-term collaborations and partnerships strengthen the access to national and international performing arts communities for Norwegian performing artists and are important tools in Performing Arts Hub Norway's work to strengthen opportunities for and competence on independent performing arts.
Norwegian Arts Abroad
Performing Arts Hub Norway is one of seven professional arts organisations with particular responsibility for international promotion and cultural collaborations. We receive support from The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and The Norwegian Ministry of Culture for this work.
Norwegian Arts Abroad consists of Music Norway, Office for Contemporary Art (OCA), NORLA, Norwegian Crafts, DOGA, Norwegian Film Institute and Performing Arts Hub Norway.
The network Norwegian Arts Abroad aims to:
Promote the value, range, and potential of Norwegian arts abroad
increase the export and international presence of the professional fields through strengthening relevant measures and management
Use and promote the expertise of the member organisations, as a measure to advocate the field's interests at an international level
The organisations work to bridge political management, research communities and artistic enterprises, and to connect these with the public. The network is part of The Norwegian Ministry of Culture's apparatus and advises The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The National Library of Norway
Performing Arts Hub Norway collaborates long-term with The National Library of Norway in its archive work. The work is concentrated on gathering, preserving, digitising, and making archival materials on Norwegian performing arts available. The collaboration also includes measures on increasing competence on performing arts archives, in the form of seminars and conferences.
Performing Criticism Globally
An increasing number of Norwegian performing artists perform their productions internationally. At the same time, criticism of performing arts spreads from traditional news media to new publishing platforms. Which is the function of performing arts criticism in international dissipation of productions? Which is its role in a major newspaper or in a web publication started by critics?
Seminar and workshop. The project was initiated by Performing Arts Hub Norway, Dansearena nord, Hild Borchgrevink, Anette Therese Pettersen, Arctic Arts Festival and RAVNEDANS. The project is part of Performing Arts Hub Norway's efforts for cultural and creative enterprises. Read more
