Nordic Pulse -Performing Arts from the Northern Latitudes  is a joint initiative developed by partnering countries in the Nordics Combined network. The network is comprised of Performing Arts Hub Norway, Dance and Circus Info Finland, The Swedish Arts Council, the Danish Arts Foundation and Performing Arts Centre Iceland.  

Nordic Pulse provides a unique opportunity for presenters who are attending CINARS to discover a wide range of independent Nordic artists who create rigorous works in dance, theatre, puppetry, circus, multidisciplinary and performance arts.  

16 artists and their producers from Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark will each give a 5-minute pitch introducing their work that is either under development or ready to tour.   

We look forward to showcasing the most vibrant highlights from across the Nordic performing arts scene!
