Lecture series with Nordberg Movement: Taking a leap – to work internationally in dance and circus
Welcome to a lecture series that guides you through various steps and opportunities to initiate, develop and strengthen your international artistic work.

Four Tuesday evenings take place on site at the Swedish Arts Grants Committee, Maria skolgata 83, and two Wednesday evenings take place online. The lectures are held in English and directed to Sweden-based professional artists in the field of dance and circus. The lectures are free, but registration in advance is required.

This evening, we will take a look at what network building can mean on a general level. How can an organization or I as an individual artist benefit from the international work I have already built and how do I move forward? What are the first steps I can take if my work is in the starting pits? Magnus Nordberg guides us through various steps and opportunities to initiate, develop and deepen an international perspective.
