Bio
TEATERCENTRUM/// is a national, non-profit interest organization and network of independent theatres in Sweden. Teatercentrum represents more than 90 independent theatres in Sweden. Our members are politically unaffiliated, non-commercial professional theatre companies, producers and artists. Independent theatres that offer great diversity in terms of genre and forms of expression are found in most parts of Sweden. Many of them tour country-wide and abroad. WE ORGANIZE /// meeting points for sharing knowledge and experience of an artistic and practical nature including theatre activities, artistic development, education, information, professional know-how, etc. WE TAKE ACTION/// We monitor cultural policies in order to improve the situation for independent theatres and support artistic diversity in the field of theatre. We also emphasize the need for a good infrastructure of presenters that can help improve ease of access to theatre for the general public and the revenue of the independent theatre companies. Teatercentrum is, together with Swedish Assitej, the owner of BIBU - performing arts biennal for children and youth. https://bibu.se/en
