Workshops

Performing HEL offers four workshops for circus, dance and theatre artists and other professionals. The aim of the workshops is to support artists and companies to develop their international activities. The workshops will be held in Finnish and/or English. 

Three of the workshops held in 2020 are open for anyone working in performing arts in Finland who wishes to learn more about touring, marketing and setting goals for international work. 

The fourth workshop in 2021, after the showcase is for the artists and companies who were part of Performing HEL 2021’s program. The workshop concentrates on follow up, and all the work that should be done after the showcase. 

This page will be updated for more detailed information so stay tuned! We also highly recommend you to follow the communication channels of Dance Info Finland, Circusinfo Finland and Theatre Info Finland.
