The international program “MEETING POINT” 2025 begins with an artists’ residency and continues with a tour of 11 performances in Denmark, Poland, and Greece.
The second edition of the international artists’ residency program MEETING POINT will begin on October 11, 2025. It will be an intensive three-week program bringing together a diverse group of Ukrainian artists for creation and performances across Europe. The program, which highlights the power of cultural collaboration in times of crisis, includes a two-week residency at Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium–Odin Teatret in Holstebro, Denmark, followed by an 11-performance tour in Poland and Greece.
From October 11 to 22, 2025, eight emerging Ukrainian artists will collaborate with European directors and facilitators in Holstebro to create an original, interdisciplinary performance. The work will explore themes such as displacement, identity, and resilience, blending theatre, dance, music, and visual arts. This collaborative piece will then embark on a tour, engaging audiences in seven cities:
• In Denmark: 5 performances in Holstebro, Silkeborg, and Herning (October 23–25).
• In Poland: 3 performances in Warsaw and Siedlce (October 27–28).
• In Greece: 3 performances in Athens (October 30–31).
“MEETING POINT creates a vital space for artistic encounters and dialogue,” said Jenny Crissey, project coordinator at Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium. “We look forward to seeing this group of Ukrainian artists build a strong, shared artistic language during their residency and then share it with diverse European audiences. We expect it to serve as a profound testament to the role of culture in fostering understanding and solidarity.”
“Participating in MEETING POINT is more than an artistic process,” said Denys Fedorenko, a Ukrainian artist who also took part in the project’s artistic residencies in 2024. “It provides a platform for our voices and shows that our stories can deeply move international audiences.”
MEETING POINT is co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe program and is a collaboration between DSI Swinging Europe (DK, coordinator), Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium–Odin Teatret (DK), b’cause Dance Company (PL), and Fabrica Athens (GR).
