ABOUT NORWAY NOW
Norway Now is a concept for promoting Norwegian performing arts internationally. The concept was developed by Performing Arts Hub Norway.
Performing Arts Hub Norway works strategically and long-term on promoting Norwegian performing arts abroad. Throughout several years, we have developed a collaboration and promotion model called Norway Now. Within this work, we always collaborate with a local partner, with networks and knowledge of production and performance conditions in different regions of the world. The work started in New York/USA, with our American partner Future Perfect Productions, and the concept was developed in collaboration with this partner. We now have several international partnerships.
The work builds on presence at international trade fairs and gatherings for the field, to which Performing Arts Hub Norway travels with delegations of Norwegian artists and producers. There, the artists get the opportunity to present their work for international colleagues.
Exchange and reciprocity make up the foundation for all of Performing Arts Hub Norway's projects. Maintaining a close dialogue with local partners is essential, and reciprocity is always an aim, also when we work on promotion, marketing, and sales.
