ExPro Stage
ExPro Stage is produced by MYSK and runs during the fall of 2024 and spring of 2025, with support from the City of Gothenburg and Region Västra Götaland. In collaboration with Danscentrums Väst summer and winter residencies.
ExPro Stage is a platform that enables the exploration of artistic work by offering a guest performance stage for dancers, performance and performing arts practitioners. by inviting audiences to their scenic process of experiments, labs, conversations, ''work in progress'' and the artist's needs in the development phase. ExPro Stage experiments are carried out as public presentations on an ongoing basis in a small intimate format with simple technology.
The residency involves a commitment to meet the ExPro Stage audience during the fall, either in the form of a “work in progress” show or as a finished performance.

Steps towards Diversity
Friday October 25 at 18 and 19
How can we be diverse and yet be the same? How can we be unique and yet mirror one another?
Join a dancing dialogue to shed light on diversity and the role of culture in our daily life. Movements are framed by honest open-questions aimed at stimulating self-reflection and awareness on delicate yet vital problems of our world.
No explicit answers are given, rather the body-language offers an unbiased platform where the audience can resonate with it and go beyond.
Dancer: Emma Minarelli from Italy, having a classical ballet education and studies in W. Forsythe and M. Cunningham techniques, is researching and performing instant movement composition in a multidisciplinary framework as non-verbal interpretation of nowadays life.

ExPro Stage
​
ExPro Stage wants to highlight performing artists who are in an ongoing stage of experimentation, lab, 'work in progress' or the artist's needs in the development phase.
Are you in an artistic process and want to share a work in progress or are you exploring a theme, a movement language or interdisciplinary collaborations? Then ExPro Stage is a platform for you that is based on presenting a process in conversation with an audience.
