DYNAMO was started from the ground up by two cultural entrepreneurs and DO-IT-YOURSELF artists. Circus performers Gry Lambertsen and Rune Vadstr\u00f8m Andersen were based in Copenhagen with many years of touring and performances in their luggage, with a burning need for production facilities and a stage space for circus in Denmark.<\/p>

An open stage, an artistic free space and a place with high ceilings\u2026 literally.<\/p>

In 2017, they got the opportunity in Odense and opened DYNAMO \u2013 stage & workspace for circus and physical performing arts. The house is an older grain warehouse, raw and beautiful and placed in Odense Harbor with a view to the water, where the neighbors include industrial halls, newly built apartments and a rich outdoor life with a playground, skate park, and mini golf.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The house now has seven permanent employees with varying types of employment and countless freelancers, including technicians, artists and enthusiasts. We survive support from the Statens Kunstfond, Odense Municipality and a handful of smaller foundations, to which we apply year-round to ensure that we have a vibrant and diverse new circus environment in Denmark. We have between 15-20 national and international circus companies in residency per year!<\/p>

DYNAMO regularly hosts guest performances, our own productions, artist in residencies, artist talks and the special event DYNAMO AFTER DARK, where we invite you to talk, deepen and reflect, workshops, masterclasses and training facilities for\u00a0professional circus performers.<\/a><\/p>

Four times a year we hold\u00a0OPEN STAGE<\/a>, where emerging artists can test themselves and their ideas and professional stage artists can also try out material in front of an engaged audience. A fantastic, chaotic jumble and look into performing arts at all levels of skill.<\/p>

We also hold the\u00a0DYNAMO CIRCUS FESTIVAL,\u00a0<\/a>a 4-day celebration of contemporary circus, which every two years takes over the entire Byens \u00d8 with stages, circus tents and good atmosphere. The next festival takes place betwen 18.-21. June 2025.<\/p>

If you want to get to know DYNAMO and contemporary circus better, you can buy a\u00a0DYNAMO card,\u00a0<\/a>which gives you free access to (almost) all of the season\u2019s experiences.<\/p>

We hope to see you!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Contemporay circus<\/strong>\u00a0is remarkable in that the genre consists of well-known circus disciplines, which are presented in a dramatic or theatrical setting, where the artists use the high technical skills of traditional circus to tell a story, instill an emotion or focus on a subject.

With this combination of the well-known circus disciplines and the dramatic setting, the genre simultaneously pleases, moves, inspires, challenges, and educates. These are stories told with the body as an expression channel. In this way, contemporary circus is both for those who want \u201ccontemporary\u201d and those who want \u201ccircus.\u201d

Contemporay circus<\/strong>\u00a0fascinates by exploring the eternal balance between life and death. The fascination of this balance lies so deep in all people that this genre has the ability to break down barriers between age, gender and social background and build a bridge between the popular and the more elitist performing arts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
