The 13th meeting of the Nordic Choreographic Platform took place in Oslo in March 2026! The five-day meeting focused on the relationship with music, musical thinking and composition.

The MA choreography students along with their peers from other Nordic choreography programmes participated in the course "Instant Composition – scores, deep listening and music". The course aimed to address the need to invest in the relationship between live music/sound and dancing, exploring what it can be and enhancing attentive listening.

The Nordic Choreographic Platform is a Nordplus-funded network between the MA choreography programmes of four Nordic art education institutions: Uniarts Helsinki, University of the Arts Stockholm (SKH), the Danish National School of the Arts (DASPA) and Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO). Since 2017, the platform brings together students and staff from these institutions to explore different discourses of pedagogy and artistic research. The platform broadens students’ professional network of colleagues and production venues to help the students integrate into the field after their graduation.
