The closure of this educational institution would represent a significant loss for both the Norwegian and international performing arts fields, erasing years of thorough and meticulous work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cuts to higher education are now affecting theater and performing arts programs at universities and colleges and will soon have critical consequences across the broader performing arts sector. A diversity of educational offerings within our field is absolutely necessary, and both students and faculty at the Norwegian Theatre Academy are essential contributors to maintaining a reflective, innovative, and ongoing discourse, in which the connection between theory and practice is thoroughly understood. As an institution engaged in international artistic exchange, BIT Teatergarasjen would also like to emphasize the unique and positive impact the Academy of Performing Arts has had in internationalizing the independent Norwegian performing arts sector. We are additionally concerned about the potential impact on the ongoing work to establish a Ph.D. program in artistic development, in collaboration with Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and the University of Troms\u00f8.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n                <div class=\"start-7 end-11  start-s-1 end-s-12 grid rg-20 standard acs\">\n                    <p>The Norwegian Theatre Academy offers educational tracks in acting, scenography, and performance, and since all instruction is conducted in English, there is a substantial presence of international students and faculty. They contribute a practice framed by critical, open, and experimental approaches, which have over the years been important to BIT Teatergarasjen. This importance extends to strengthening the discourse in our field, as well as their role as artists in our program, both in our seasonal programming and the Pr\u00f8verommet series, as well as in our biennales Oktoberdans and Meteor. The fact that this education focuses on developing artistic practices on their own terms is a fundamental reason why graduates find their way to our stages so quickly, and we emphasize that we will lose a vital source of new Norwegian performing arts talent if this education is discontinued.<br \/>BIT Teatergarasjen believes the current The Norwegian Theatre Academy is an invaluable contributor to the development of the independent Norwegian performing arts field, and therefore, the entire performing arts sector in Norway will be weakened without it. We therefore strongly urge that this important educational institution be preserved. <\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section class=\"text-content section-padding-bottom blue\">\n        <div class=\"grid-12 wrapper rg-50 rg-s-20 side-padding\">\n                        <div class=\"start-2 end-9 lead\"><p>BIT Teatergarasjen<\/p><\/div>                            <div class=\"start-2 end-6  start-s-1 end-s-12 grid rg-20 standard acs\"><p>Artistic director Bettina Kogler<br \/>\nCurator Karoline Skuseth<br \/>\nCurator Kristina Melb\u00f8 Valvik<br \/>\nPr\u00f8verommet Laurie Lax<br \/>\nTechnical director H\u00e5vard<br \/>\nCommunication Rune Salomonsen<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <div class=\"start-7 end-11  start-s-1 end-s-12 grid rg-20 standard acs\">\n                    <p>Managing director Tine Rude<br \/>\nCurator Ingrid Ellestad<br \/>\nHead of administration Tone Iren Myklatun<br \/>\nHead of communication Andreas Langenes<br \/>\nProducer and acessibility coordinator Jay van der Vlist<br \/>\nProduction manager Snorre R\u00f8nning Mandal<\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
