Studio 3
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.
