Please note that this pre-meeting overnight stay will last until Monday 12 June, 13:00

This IETM pre-meeting stay will take place one day prior to the meeting, and offers the unique opportunity to live inside a piece of poetic artwork for one day.

Known as a very special experience, Sisters Hope Home is an extraordinary five-year-durational performance and platform for artistic research, created by the award-winning performance group and movement Sisters Hope.

Sisters Hope Home is a durational artwork and platform for artistic research. The highly immersive performance is manifested non-stop for five years and is dedicated to the poetic and sensuous modes of being and being together. 

In their home, Sisters Hope conduct artistic research on how inhabitation of the sensuous and poetic relates to the understanding of the ecological connectedness of everything and thus enables a transition into a more sustainable future.

Programme

Upon your arrival at Sisters Hope Home you will be greeted by a Sisters Staff. During your stay, you are invited to take part in an immersive journey which explores the poetic layers of our being and being together while inhabiting the artwork. Each visitor will be granted a bed in the Sisters Hope Home dormitory.

For one day you will cook, eat, sleep and live in proximity with Sisters Hope in a potential future world - Sensuous Society - where everything is based on the principles of the sensuous and poetic.

Through rituals, performative exercises and domestic life in Sisters Hope Home, the participants will investigate new ways of inhabiting the sensuous and poetic together with the Sisters Staff.

Important practicalities

The accommodation will be on site at the home in a dormitory. We invite you to pack for the overnight stay. Don't forget to bring comfortable shoes and wind/waterproofs. You will also need a rucksack to carry a water bottle and a reusable coffee mug, if you have one.

How to get there?

Take the direct train to Hedehusene Train Station from Københavns Hovedbanegård (Copenhagen Central Train Station) for a duration of 18 minutes. There is a train every hour; we recommend you to take the train at 13:07. The ticket costs 76 kr (approx. 11€). Plan your journey here. Participants will be contacted before the pre-meeting to arrange a meeting point with a guide and the rest of the group.

Location: Rå Hal 1, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Location: Rå Hal 1, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Address: Godsbanen, Skovgaardsgade 3, Indgang 3A, Aarhus | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

The Artists working group invites you to a session - Can Artists Sustain Sustainable Art?

Initiated at the Belgrade Plenary in 2022, the Artists working group is a network of IETM members who identify primarily as artists. The group addresses topics connected to the performing arts sector from an artists’ point of view. It aims to create positive dialogue with other professionals in the field, and - in this meeting - questions what kind of “sustainability” they want to pursue.

Environmental sustainability only exists in tandem with social and economic sustainability. Living on the Edge describes the precarity artists face. There is a gap between what the system asks and what the system affords artists.

Therefore - is the performing arts’ ecosystem in good health? Can we find ways of “re-greening” our working biosphere in order for it to flourish? We invite you to investigate these questions from a local, intercultural and transcontinental perspective through a creative game based on the World Cafe method.

Participatory and Immersive Processes in Rural Areas

Location: Remisen, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Location: Remisen, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Address: Godsbanen, Skovgaardsgade 3, Indgang 3A, Aarhus | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

This interactive session will be co-facilitated by IETM's PIC group and the AREA-network. The session will delve into the overall themes of the IETM Aarhus Plenary Meeting by focussing on two participative practises of artists working in rural areas. The group will then explore the presented material through a collaborative process, developing creative actions in response to themes that at times feel beyond our capacity. 

AREA-network supports arts in rural areas by creating exchanges of experiences, researching working methods and stimulating the advocacy on a local, regional, national and European level. AREA includes all disciplines. Members of AREA are artists, creators, organisers, policymakers and scientists. 

The Participatory and Immersive Creation group (PIC) aims to provide a space for IETM members to tackle central issues we have in creating, presenting and producing this genre of work, through open discussions, experience sharing, and creative exchanges.

How have we reached this point of an environmental crisis with so little change? What is it going to take for society to step up, take action and drive an ecological revolution? 

We often hear about the polarisation of modern societies, but when it comes to climate change and vanishing landscapes, shouldn't those who want to protect the ecosystem and share liveable land unite against those who don't?

Before revolutions can take place, a cultural shift needs to happen. As societal values and class aesthetics evolve, a new social organisation can emerge which is aware of its own interests and ready to take power from those who resist.

'Nature doesn't unify — it divides'.*

Join us as we take a provocative dive into the sociology of the ecological transition in the first keynote address of the IETM Aarhus Plenary Meeting.

FIX&FOXY is diving into social classes and communities. The company writes:

“They live in ghettos. Predominantly spending time with those who already share their cultural values. Their children are enrolled into special schools and they don’t wish to contribute to the greater community. 

FIX&FOXY invite the rich on stage and away from our often fictionalised image of who they are and how they live. We get to know them intimately and experience what it is like to be able to pick from the top shelf and enjoy first-class life. And it feels great. 

Then, there is a knock at the door - it’s the lower class.”

How is a body shaped by a profession? What does it mean to cultivate a body? How does it relate to cultivating a land and its soil?

In HØST, all senses are activated. The smell of grass will hang in the air, and the stage will send music into the feet of the dancers and out to the audience as one giant speaker.

Between Music - AquaSonic

Address: Godsbanen, Skovgaardsgade 3, Indgang 3A, Aarhus | Event Map | Venue Accessibility 

Five performers submerge themselves in glass water tanks to play custom-made instruments and sing entirely underwater. Transformed inside these darkly glittering, aquatic chambers, they produce compositions that are both eerily melodic and powerfully resonant.

AquaSonic is the culmination of years of research into the exciting possibilities of submerged musical performance, breaking barriers and challenging existing paradigms.

The result is a concert experience completely out of the ordinary; a deep dive into a magical new universe of images and sounds.

After the performance, Between Music will host a 30 mins artist talk.

Duration: 55 min + 30 min artist talk (optional)
Genre: Underwater concert performance

“So the city is as citizen, so the city is as species” is a one-day durational performative ritual which takes place from sunset to sunset, paying tribute to the diversity of life.

Rebelling against the dominance of the human species, performance artist and climate activist Linh Le creates a nature zone in the middle of the city, transporting a 10-ton pile of soil by bike with the help of the community. In the soil, Linh Le connects with and brings to life the very rare plant species pentanema squarrosum, investigating habitability, interspecies meetings and communities.

Pentanema squarrosum is Aarhus’ responsible species. At least 20% of the species’ total population lives in Denmark and therefore Denmark and Aarhus as the ambassador of the species has a special national responsibility to protect the species as it is globally considered rare.

IETM participants and citizens of Aarhus are invited to help this project succeed by transporting the soil from Godsbanen to the city centre by bikes - and by joining one of the performance rituals conducted over the course of the day.

The audience gathers around a specially prepared banquet table. The performers invite you to enter the secret world of bees: and whilst you are their guest, you learn a bee dance, hear wondrous and compelling facts about bees and much more.

The performers investigate humanity’s fascination with the magical substance of honey and hive life, and the vital role that bees play as pollinators.

Banquet for Bees is about honeybees and the lesser known wild bees, and their different approaches to communal life. These two tribes from the bee world are still considered opponents.

Today’s global economy perpetuates an exploitative relation with the planet and the communities that inhabit it. What can we learn from Indigenous knowledge systems and methods to change this tendency?  

What can an inclusive and intersectional perspective teach us about climate justice? What are the key issues to reconsider if we want to ensure a just green transition for the future?

In this session, Indigenous knowledge holders and community activists from outside of the arts field will discuss how modern societies can forge an environmentally and socially sustainable culture based on restorative justice and equity.

Location: Rytmisk sal, Musikhuset     Interested participants

Address: Musikhuset Thomas Jensens Allé 2 | Event Map | Venue Accessibility 

Traditional language may not be enough to convey the enormity of the challenges we face in a rapidly changing environment. While scientists may have data on the urgency of climate change, artists are most likely better positioned to predict our cultural climate.

Both nature and art can teach us to see the world in a new light - but how can we combine the artistic purpose of our work with reducing our environmental impact and creating awareness, when these are not always aligned?

During this session, two artists whose work is intimately linked to the human experience of water will share insights on their relationship with activism and how they relate to the urgent need for the reduction of the environmental impact of human culture.

After a successful first launch at IETM Belgrade and a series of informative webinars leading up to IETM Aarhus, the IETM Environmental Working Group is committed to creating an international environmental charter for IETM Environmental Working Group, which will hopefully inspire others in the IETM network.

We encourage all members to participate in this joint effort by providing a broad range of perspectives to shape the guidelines of the charter.

Let's consider what we can sacrifice to lessen the environmental impact of the performing arts and address inequalities by redistributing responsibilities.

This session will act as a space for sharing best practices and practical solutions for making the performing arts sector more environmentally friendly at every level.

RELAY is an on-going Erasmus + Cooperation Partnership project with partners in Bucharest (RO), Copenhagen (DK) Cologne (DE) and Heraklion (GR). 

The session will offer reflections on the challenges of finding sustainable modes for international exchange and collaboration in the field of arts education in dance and music. 

RELAY emerged from a new approach in contemporary dance, which uses movement to examine the supposed duality of material and immaterial. RELAY provides conditions for students to develop sustainable work/life balance and longevity in their future careers. In addition, the project aims to increase awareness of local contexts and situated knowledge. The project also looks at how dance and music can find common ground in this exploration.

It’s possible to participate online via this link.

Location: Store Sal, Bora Bora    Interested participants

Location: Store Sal, Bora Bora    Interested participants

Address: Valdemarsgade 1, 8000 Aarhus C | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

HØST (HARVEST) is a dance performance articulated around the meeting of two trades: farming and dancing. It is an exploration of the working body as a living archive of a specific tradition. How is a body shaped by a profession? What does it mean to cultivate a body? How does it relate to cultivating a land and its soil?

In HØST, all senses are activated. The smell of grass will hang in the air, and the stage will send music into the feet of the dancers and out to the audience as one giant speaker.

How do you fit twelve sled dogs into a three room apartment?

In the 1960s and 70s, the Danish government decided to close down settlements in Greenland and relocate people as part of their efforts to urbanise the native population.

“The View” is a strong and touching performance about a woman and her husband being forced to leave their home. It is a story about love, grief and hope; about the new daily life, the sled dogs they had to put down, the joy of getting running water…

The monologue is written and performed by Makka Kleist, one of Greenland’s leading actresses and dramatists. “The View” premiered in Nuuk, Greenland in one of the buildings used in the urbanisation process.

Address: Godsbanen, Skovgaardsgade 3, Indgang 3A, Aarhus | Event Map | Venue Accessibility 

Five performers submerge themselves in glass water tanks to play custom-made instruments and sing entirely underwater. Transformed inside these darkly glittering, aquatic chambers, they produce compositions that are both eerily melodic and powerfully resonant.

AquaSonic is the culmination of years of research into the exciting possibilities of submerged musical performance, breaking barriers and challenging existing paradigms.

The result is a concert experience completely out of the ordinary; a deep dive into a magical new universe of images and sounds.

Location: Radar, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Location: Radar, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Address: Godsbanen, Skovgaardsgade 3, Indgang 3A, Aarhus | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

In an unpredictable mix of humour and sincerity, Blood Club deals with themes of belonging, community, cultural heritage and cultural future.

Blood Club is a series of performative encounters where the artists and the audience investigate our contradictory relationship with genetics and culture. It’s a search for the ultimate feeling of togetherness and how to create a strong community.

The leaders of Blood Club represent archetypes from the north: 'The Sami activist',  'the researcher',  'the victim of Norwegianisation ' and 'the bearer of Norwegian guilt'. They search to expand or develop these  'types' and create new roles for the future while presenting possibilities  - or perhaps utopias - that can replace them. There will be speeches, exercises and live music by the hard-core-band Ondt Blod.

Duration: 2 hours

Genre: Performative encounter

Price: Free

Credits

Performers: Kristin Bjørn, Bernt Bjørn, Kristina Junttila, Sigbjørn Skåden and Hilde Kristin Liu

The Land Back movement is a grassroots movement that aims to return sovereignty over land to Indigenous communities and redress the systemic oppression of Indigenous peoples. They do so by reclaiming land and restoring their cultural practices and recognising their unique relationship with the land. This movement is crucial for protecting Indigenous rights and preserving biodiversity. 

Unfortunately, Indigenous communities have to face additional challenges as the increasing demand for green energy often results in the destruction of perfectly thriving ecosystems.

In Norway, a notable protest is currently underway as climate and Indigenous activists fight against a windmill farm constructed on unceded and sacred Indigenous land, with striking parallels to the 1980s Alta conflict over a hydroelectric power plant in the same area. A young Sami actor leads the protest as a spokesperson, and her recent role in a film depicting the earlier protests raises questions about the intersection of fiction, reality and of past and present policies. How can this situation give us a deeper understanding of the paradox of green energy production? Can art negotiate a new understanding of history, while it is repeating itself in front of our eyes?

Through the examples of three artistic practices, we will investigate how artistic forms can be used to affect change and how the arts can play a crucial role in both small and significant transformations towards building a culture that reevaluates our fundamental archetypes and takes into account the more-than-human dimension.

Indigenous Ecological Knowledge II - ‘By The Collective’

Location: Rå Hal, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Location: Rå Hal, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Address: Godsbanen, Skovgaardsgade 3, Indgang 3A, Aarhus | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

This immersive workshop will delve into the differences between Western and Indigenous ontologies from a Sámi perspective. By exploring the meanings and ways of being, doing and knowing that are rooted in cosmological perspectives, we can gain a better understanding of the Sámi's celebration of collectivity. As well as this, we will also explore their awareness on the impact of every choice made on the collective as opposed to the Western view - which often idealises individualism.

Together, we will examine how these differing ontological perspectives relate to issues of sustainability and climate justice. Join us for an insightful session carried out ‘By the Collective’.

Note

‘By the Collective’ is an ongoing discursive performance developed by Hásstuheaddji/By The Collective.

Address: Godsbanen, Skovgaardsgade 3, 5, 8000 Aarhus, Denmark | Event MapVenue Accessibility

In an ocean filled with plastic, we dive into an underwater journey in a magical and poetic sea universe. Below the surface we meet waves, sea plants, sea animals…and plastic.

Tons of plastic bags, bottles and micro plastics are floating in Earth’s oceans, damaging the fish, plants and human beings. How can we use less plastic and how can we do it in a more efficient way than we do now?

OCEAN sparks reflections about plastic pollution, embracing a hope for the future. The performance is based on installations in a cross disciplinary field.

How do you fit twelve sled dogs into a three room apartment?

In the 1960s and 70s, the Danish government decided to close down settlements in Greenland and relocate people as part of their efforts to urbanise the native population.

“The View” is a strong and touching performance about a woman and her husband being forced to leave their home. It is a story about love, grief and hope; about the new daily life, the sled dogs they had to put down, the joy of getting running water…

The monologue is written and performed by Makka Kleist, one of Greenland’s leading actresses and dramatists. “The View” premiered in Nuuk, Greenland in one of the buildings used in the urbanisation process.

Adding this activity to your schedule does not count as a registration.

We are excited to announce the post-meeting trip to Holstebro organised by AREA, the network for the Arts in Rural European Areas. This post-meeting trip will take form in a rural lab, conducted in partnership with KRAS, the Creative Regional Academy Slaughterhouse, which is developing a programme designed to offer ambitious young creatives an opportunity to explore and develop their artistic potential within a rural context.

During this post-meeting trip, you will have the chance to meet with artists and learn more about the innovative projects they are developing. You will also be able to participate in a workshop and learn about advocacy practices and engage in discussions with local policymakers and politicians.

Join us for an enriching and inspiring rural lab in Holstebro!
