Prøverommet Spring 2025

17.2 – Nordnes Sjøbad
17.3 – Bergen Public Library
28.4 – Østre
11.5 – Galleri Kronborg
19.6 – Landmark, Bergen Kunsthall

Prøverommet returns to Nordnes Sjøbad in 2025, because the last event in 2024 was so fun! There will be site-specific sound performance, sculpture and video projected into the pool! Next the programme travels to Bergen Public Library, it’s been too long since Prøverommet was there last time in 2017. Expect a collaboration with Mandagsfilmen, the library’s film series, plus performance art. The season would not be complete without Østre; the event is already full with very exciting projects across theatre, music, and a new line dancing club concept. Then Prøverommet hikes into the city mountains for a collaboration with artist-run Galleri Kronborg. Let’s hope for typical May weather! Before the summer break, the season ends with a classic Prøverommet at Landmark, Bergen Kunsthall, the programme’s longest standing host-collaborator. This event will segway into BIT’s summer party, where teasers for the Autumn and Meteor festival programme will be revealed!

Prøverommet Autumn 2025

28.8 – Bergen Inkluderingssenter
15.9 – Bergen Internasjonale Kultursenter
20.10 – Bergen Kjøtt
19.11 – Visningsrommet USF
15.12 – Studio USF

The Autumn season travels to a mix of first time and longtime collaborators in and around the city. A mix of students and projects at Bergen Inkluderingssenter will be presented together with works by artists who have never been there before. Then the programme travels to Bergen Internasjonale Kultursenter for the first time since 207, where a mix of freeform performance and music projects will resonate the space. Bergen Kjøtt will be a space for testing out both on stage and behind the scenes, as home to the GRIP technician training ground. This year’s festival edition for Meteor will be Visningsrommet USF, focused on theatre. Then Prøverommet gets to piggy back off BIT’s wider programme at Studio USF, where a residency artist will show their project alongside other short experiments from different fields.

What is Prøverommet?

Prøverommet has been running since 1998, originally in BIT’s former venue Teatergarasjen for 10 years, now popping up at various venues throughout the seasons. It’s a low threshold environment to try out new artistic material in front of an audience using any medium: dance, theatre, poetry, visual art, music… The programme is open to participate in and attend, with at least 10 events per year. Almost 2500 projects have been presented so far!
