Husly Artist Residency is an ecological art project made by the artist Vigdis Haugtrø and Jan de Gier, and could be described as a simple «city-cabin». It’s situated next to the production facilities of DansiT at Svartlamon in Trondheim, with a grocery store and the cafe Ramp Pub & Spiseri nearby. The house is wood-fired and the water is collected inside DansiT, where you also can use the bathroom and laundry facilities. In addition Husly has a small bathroom with a bio toilet and a sink, a living room and a small kitchen in an open space, and a mezzanine with a twin-size bed.

Multiplié Dance Festival
Plié is one of the best known terms in the dance vocabulary. Translated from French to English it means «to bend». By choosing the name Multiplié, we wish to highlight the festival as an arena for bending the art of dance into new and different forms.
Multiplié Dance Festival challenges preconceptions of what dance can be and of who can perform and choreograph dance. The goal of Multiplié is to create an arena that brings people together, breaks barriers, challenges and surprises, and to build bridges between communities, cultures, bodies and age groups.
Next edition of Multiplié dance festival will be organized from 18. – 25. March 2023.
Suggestions for our program can be sent to arnhild(at)dansit.no and asgerdur(at)dansit.no
Dance Film
Multiplié Dance Film
Multiplié dance film is an annual dance film program presented by DansiT as a part of Minimalen Short Film Festival. The collaboration was established in 2015.
Multiplié dance film highlights different voices, bodies, and life experiences through a broad range of high quality dance films from all over the world. The program is based on the unique profile of the Multiplié Dance Festival, which explores and bends the art of dance into new, surprising and exciting forms. Through Multiplié, we seek to challenge preconceptions of what a dance film can be, or look like, and of who can perform and choreograph dance, or create dance films.
In 2022 Multiplié Dance Film expanded to include a separate Nordic dance film program, in addition to the International program.
The next edition of Minimalen Short Film Festival is in January 2023.
An external jury of professionals will select a «best film» of both programs. The winners will receive a diploma and an award of 1000 euro.
You can send in your Dance Film through FilmFreeway.
