  • The counties participating in the pilot choose one dance performance and one theater performance.
  • The workshops are developed for each performance.
  • The workshop is not held on the same day, from one week - one day before/after the performance.
  • The number of tour days run with a workshop is chosen by DKS in the county.
  • Workshop duration: 90 min, up to three workshops per day (max. five hours in total, cf. DKS framework conditions).
  • Drama and dance teachers are hired locally. Fees follow the DKS rate, which is NOK 3,899 per day in 2017/2018. DKS in the counties covers fees and workshop development.
