Prøverommet is BIT’s experimental arena – a playground for all creative people in Bergen. This unique and beloved concept has been around since 1998 and provides a low-threshold environment for trying out new artistic material in front of an audience. Dance, theatre, poetry, visual art, music; all formats are welcome! In the spring of 2026, Prøverommet will appear every month in completely different venues, from Galleri Kronborg at Rundemannen mountain to the research vessel Atlas initiatief.

31 August | Bergen Internasjonale Kultursenter*
24 September | Sentralbadet Scenekunsthus, Nullpunktet
22 October | Sentralbadet Scenekunsthus, Studio Øst
26 November | Sentralbadet Scenekunsthus, Scene Sør
10 December | Sentralbadet Scenekunsthus, Nullpunktet + Scene Sør 

The upcoming season of Prøverommet will be filled with more-than-usual excitement because most* events will take place inside Sentralbadet Scenekunsthus, before the official opening in March 2027. This means  that Prøverommet participants will not only be experimenting with new works; they will be testing out the infrastructure of BIT’s brand new venue. 

This testing period presents exciting opportunities, to be some of the first artists making their marks in the building, as well as more-than-usual unpredictability! Changes and adaptations might be necessary at short notice.
