Case studies. Presentation of cooperation and internationalisation programmes 

• 16 March, 9:00 -10:30.Denmark Focus: Emerging organisations and practices on the Danish scene. 

  Six representative and emerging Danish organisations will present their projects. These structures reflect the diversity of production, exhibition and artistic support models that characterise the Nordic country today, with a clear commitment to experimentation, internationalisation and dialogue between disciplines. The event offers a diverse view of the contemporary Danish scene, highlighting the plurality of practices, languages and working models that span theatre, dance, performance and circus, as well as the role of the Nordic network of dance houses.

• 18 March, 12:30 – 13:30. Pyrenart II: European cross-border project. 

  The aim of Pyrenart II is to promote cross-border cooperation in the field of cultural entrepreneurship in the performing arts, as well as to encourage the development and internationalisation of structures dedicated to the sector. Pyrenart II is a project co-financed by the European Interreg POCTEFA VI programme (2021-2027). The Occitanie en Scène agency (Occitania) leads the programme, which comprises 12 partner entities from both sides of the Pyrenees.
