What we do
Dansverkstæðið offers working facilities for dancers, choreographers and other performing artists. The studios house rehearsals and the development of new dance works, but Dansverkstæðið also organizes training sessions, courses and other activities that support the professional growth of dance artists.
Dansverkstæðið hosts regular dance performances for children and adults, workshops, and a variety of events. A diverse group of artists and the public of all ages participate in a thriving dance community under the roof of Dansverkstæðið.

Studio 3
Listamenn með verkefni sem ekki krefjast hefðbundinna æfingarýma geta sótt um verkefnið Stúdíó 3. Þá fær listamaður aðstöðu í minnsta sal Dansverkstæðisins, sal 3 og faglegt samtal. Verkefnin geta verið af ýmsum toga en samtal við danssamfélagið er kostur.
Artists with projects that do not require traditional rehearsal spaces can apply for the Studio 3 project. The artist will then make use of Dansverkstæðið's smallest studio, Studio 3, and a professional dialogue. The projects can be of various types, but an engagement with the dance community is an advantage.
The first artist in Studio 3 is Dr. Steinunn Knúts Önnudóttir, who is working on the project Fragile at Dansverkstæðið in 2026. Steinunn is a playwright and art researcher who works with existential sustainability, relational approaches and performative encounters. The collaboration between Dansverkstæðið and Steinunn spans a full year, during which she will be provided with a working space and professional dialogue.
The work Fragile will be created as a series of rituals. The first is The Healing - a wall mosaic and sound work that culminates with an event at Dansverkstæðið on April 8, 2026. The second ritual is called The Repair and will take place in May 2026. Finally, the Forgiveness is in November 2026.
