Keukenklap (‘Kitchen chat’)

Are you a new creator in amateur or pre-professional dance? Come to Keukenklap and discover what Danspunt can do for you! We’ll be presenting and discussing in detail our new project, MaakPlaats, a space for customized residencies. It’s your dance laboratory where you can deepen, innovate, and present your work. This includes studio space, coaching, visibility through our social media channels, and the opportunity for a small-scale showcase.

You’ll also learn all the ins and outs of compensation and getting paid, and gain insight into the world of a dance programmer. We’re also happy to answer your questions about starting your first project or provide advice on taking the next step.

Drop by and get a taste of what we offer!
