NORDIC PULSE – PERFORMING ARTS FROM THE NORTHERN LATITUDES IS A JOINT-VENTURE DEVELOPED BY THE PARTNERING COUNTRIES IN THE NETWORK NORDICS COMBINED. NORDIC PULSE AIMS TO SERVE AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRESENTERS ATTENDING CINARS TO DISCOVER A WIDE RANGE OF INDEPENDENT NORDIC ARTISTS CREATING RIGOROUS NEW WORKS IN DANCE, PHYSICAL THEATER, PUPPETRY, VIDEO, MULTI-DISCIPLINARY AND PERFORMANCE ART.
22 artists and their producers from four Nordic countries will each give a 5-minute pitch highlighting their work that is in development or ready to tour. This is followed by networking opportunities for international collaboration, co-production and presenting.

Nordic Pulse is new of this year, but the concept and model builds on Norway Now, developed by Performing Arts Hub Norway (PAHN). The concept is now being further developed into a Nordic version together with our partners in Nordics Combined .

The Nordics Combined network consists together with PAHN of Dance and Circus Info Finland, The Swedish Cultural Council, the Danish Arts Foundation and Performing Arts Centre Iceland. We collaborate on joint Nordic initiatives on international platforms, and Nordic Pulse can be seen as a dynamic development between these Nordic countries. This year’s version will be presenting works from Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and Norway.

We look forward to present highlights from the current independent performing arts scene within the Nordic region!
