What is Teatercentrum?

Teatercentrum ("Theatre Centre") is secretariat for the Board of Theatre for Young Audiences and Inenerant Theatre (UBOT). UBOT is a permanent board consisting of three members appointed by the Minister of Culture.

Teatercentrum is an institution under the Danish Ministry of Culture.

Teatercentrum provides information about theatres that perform for young audiences.

Teatercentrum is able to provide general information about theatre for young audiences, about touring theatres, about how to get performances financed (the 50% reimbursement system) and about how to cope with the practical problems related to arranging theatre performances.

Teatercentrum can assist buyers that need advice on choosing a performance that suits their special needs.

Teatercentrum advices the Danish Ministry of Culture, county and district authorities and individuals in matters concerning theatre for young audiences.

Teatercentrum has many years of experience in organising conferences and talks on themes related to theatre for young audiences.

Teatercentrum also houses the Danish branch of ASSITEJ, the World Theatre Network of Theatre for Children and Young People.

Teatercentrum disseminates knowledge about theatre for young audiences and inenerant theatre through:

  • The annual Children's Theatre Festival in Denmark - a festival that has existed since 1969 and is the biggest of its kind in the world.
  • Børneteateravisen.dk - a web-portal dedicated to theatre for young audiences.
  • Den Røde Brochure ("The Red Brochure") - a comprehensive catalogue with detailed information about theatres in Denmark that perform for young audiences. This catalogue is published once a year.
