Are you a performer? A dancer? A singer? An actor? A poet? A poetry-slammer? A musician?
Do YOU have a gymnastic trick in your sleeves? A never told story to tell?
The Trampoline House and the TheatreHOUSE have joined together for a project focusing on performing arts, different expressions, inspiration, international culture – and YOU are invited! Both amateurs and professionals are welcome.
The purpose of the project is to generate cultural exchange, dialogue and artistic inspiration asylum seekers and Danes inbetween in a performative setting in the rooms of the TheatreHOUSE.

So this is a great chance of showing your artistic talent, showing something from your culture, your way of thinking – and gain experience from other artists. And especially: meat the Copenhagen audience.
Open-mike-mini-festival
October 22nd - 23rd 2009 (5pm-10pm): “Open-mike-mini-festival” on the TheatreHOUSE’s scene BASTARDEN (the Bastard), Magstræde 13, 1466 Copenhagen K (near Nørreport st.).
ALL KINDS OF PERFORMANCES ARE RECEIVED WITH APPLAUSE. The word is free. The expression is free. You can dance, sing, act, tell a story, show a gymnastic trick, play guitar, mime - everything. The atmosphere will be cosy, warm, nice, open – dialogue and culture are given the pride of place. A hot meal will be served and we end Friday with a party after the open-mike-mini-festival
From October the 26th to November 7th:
In these 14 days it is possible to use the rehearsal rooms in the TheatreHOUSE if you got inspired by the open-mike-mini-festival. For example you can concentrate on performing a dance, you can rehearse a mini-play, you can develop a story – fictive or biografic etc.
November 6th:
From 6pm to 10 pm: An evening in the TheatreHOUSE where the highlights from the open-mike are presented for the audience (5-10-15 minutes each).
The whole thing ends up in a longer performance
November 9th – January 31st: If some of the participants in the earlier phases in the project want to throw themselves into a performative production it is now possible. The TheatreHOUSE provide the scene BASTARDEN in the whole month of January 2010 with lamps and technical stuff. You get space, time and concentration for a longer performative production. The project puts 5.000 DKK. into the production. The production is planned to end with four days of playing for a big wide audience – the members of the Theatre House, The Trampoline House, other interested asylum seekers and for people in Copenhagen who are interested in different cultures and the global life.
Asylum-seekers and Danes are thought to cooperate in a mutual inspiration.

Fundrasing Party 25th of July
Why we chose to cancel Speakers Corner for Silent Voices on May 10
Early in the morning on Sunday, June 10, 2009, the Asylum Dialog Tank made the decision to cancel the Speakers Corner for Silent Voices scheduled to take place later that day as part of the festival Undoing the City. We are very sorry about this, as we had been looking forward to present the voices and viewpoints of refugees in Denmark in the inspiring context of the festival. We are also very sad to disappoint all the people who showed up for the event in vain.
We chose to cancel the Speakers Corner for Silent Voices because of all the police and media attention that one of festival’s scheduled events created, namely the street party that took place on Friday, June 8 in the center of Copenhagen, which ended with a number of stores being smashed. Although we are very sympathetic towards the intentions of the Undoing the City festival and recognize that the festival as an umbrella initiative for a number of individuals and groups critically focusing on urban gentrification had nothing to do with the street party, we felt it necessary to cancel in order to avoid any misrepresentation by the media and police that would jeopardize the already critical situation of the asylum seekers.
We hope to realize the Speakers Corner for Silent Voices in near future and will announce a new date and time on this website soon.
All the best,
The Asylum Dialog Tank
