Living testimony CPH Stage (day 2)

Performing arts archive: From documentation to action

NOTE: This workshop takes place at the Black Diamond in Copenhagen

The first part of the workshop takes place on May 26th; you can read more here. You can participate in just one day.

Take part in two workshops about archiving. We point the spotlight to how performing arts archives can be utilised as a creative resource, with a hands-on guide to what is important to know if you want to establish or improve your (digital) archive. The project Living Testimony was started by Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium – Odin Teatret. Collaborators include Danish Performing Arts, The Royal Library, the Local Archives, and Aarhus Theatre. The project is funded by the Danish Arts Foundation and Holstebro Municipality.

Archiving – how do I start?

Anna Lawartz, Senior researcher af the Royal Danish Library, introduces international tendencies and provides tips and tricks for how to get started with archiving – both physically and digitally.

Pelle Koppel will moderate a panel discussing what to archive and for whom.
