Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium - Odin Teatret

The theme for workshop 1 is: A toolbox for Eternity - Workshop process in relation to getting a voice and story in the the short and long term.

In performing arts productions, we usually work towards a premiere - but if we want our work to be remembered in the decades to come, it would be a good idea to establish a good documentation practice. This allows for the works to be in an artistic cycle and to have a stronger voice in cultural policy, when our our history doesn't just disappear with those who carry the experiences in their bodies.

Are you curious about theatre and performance documentation, and do you have a desire
to get concrete tools to document the reality that you, as a theatre, work in theatre, work in and with every day? Here you have the opportunity to meet Anna Lawaetz from Det Kgl. Bibliotek, Henning Sørensen from Lokalarkiverne and a lawyer from from Danish Theatre. We will work with what is important to save for who and what methods can be good to use.

LIVING KNOWLEDGE is a project that works to promote local performing arts
and to strengthen the position of regional theatres as knowledge-producing and
and culture-bearing institutions - locally and nationally.
With the project LIVING KNOWLEDGE ARCHIVES, Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium wants to
contribute to the development of standardised models and methods for collecting
and dissemination of the practice-based knowledge and artistic documentation
produced at Danish regional theatres. Through three different workshops, we will
what a focus on documentation requires, what resources are already available and
and how to activate your archive into an artistic ecosystem.
