Professionalisation

Over the years, we have seen how there is a gap between the path to a professional life in arts and culture and disabled artists. Today, not all people have equal opportunities to enter artistic education and further into professional life. We want to bridge that gap!

That's why we now have a focus on developing models and finding ways of working to create a more level playing field. As a knowledge centre, we can explore, test and evaluate different approaches and methods together with artists with different disabilities and actors in the cultural sector, such as performing arts institutions, education at different levels and, not least, the independent cultural sector.

One example of how we work with professionalisation is our mentoring programme, where disabled artists have worked closely with established professionals in the field. We are also pushing the issue of professionalisation in collaboration with Moomsteatern and Skånes Dansteater, among others. Together we are always trying to find new ways to stimulate the development.
