Dansenet Denmark: Pre-Project

In 2025, we began operating under the name Dansenet Denmark, working toward the ambitious vision of establishing a national framework to strengthen and expand the foundations for the development, production, and presentation of dance.

With a grant of DKK 195,000 from the Augustinus Foundation, we will explore how and with whom a future Dansenet Denmark can best support the dissemination and development of dance.

Specifically, the pre-project will:

• Provide supplementary data for a baseline assessment of the development of dance
• Engage dance artists, contemporary dance organizations, and potential presenting venues/theatres with limited experience in dance in new, concrete collaborative models across artistic development, production, presentation, and touring
• Draw on Nordic experiences from Dansenet Sweden and Dansenet Norway
• Outline a shared national flagship initiative with a collaborative network and a programme of activities designed for long-term sustainability beyond the project period—ensuring a lasting improvement of the dance ecosystem in Denmark
