GREENHOUSE 

A development network for dance, mime and performance in Amsterdam initiated by BAU Platform for Dance and Performance, Boogaerdt/VanderSchoot, Nicole Beutler Projects, Veem House for Performance and Keren Levi | NeverLike. NeverLike was a partner in the network until 2026.

In GREENHOUSE connections, facilities, ideas and expertise are shared. Together, the partners claim time and space for exploration, experimentation and encounters. They join forces to create the support network that’s needed for artists to take root, simmer, grow and flower within the artistic environment.

COME TOGETHER

COME TOGETHER was first initiated by Nicole Beutler, Andrea Božić and Keren Levi in 2014 when they presented their work alongside each other. Since that time the gathering grew.

COME TOGETHER is the yearly performance gathering with artists from Amsterdam in Frascati Theater. A manifesto and a celebration of the many innovative and contemporary makers that Amsterdam harbors.

Over three days, artists, colleagues and audiences share time, space and practice with each other. All the spaces of Frascati will be buzzing and bubbling with short sketches, presentation, poetic experiment, engaged conversations, lectures, debates and dance parties.

COME TOGETHER is not a festival in the classical sense of the word. Rather than presenting finished pieces, it provides a platform for all forms of sharing: work-in-process, experiments, performance excerpts, installations, talks and workshops. Our goal is to nurture opportunities for growth, recognizing that, like plants, ideas need care and cultivation to blossom. Over three days, this gathering contributes to a fertile breeding ground for the Amsterdam performance, dance, and mime community, sharing the year's harvest with our audience.

COME TOGETHER is a GREENHOUSE project produced by Nicole Beutler Projects in collaboration with Frascati, Ulrike Quade Company and BackBone. More info here.

GARDENING

GARDENING is a one-week creative incubator in which four dance/mime/performance artists are given the opportunity to simmer and grow new ideas alongside each other. They are given a studio space while being actively coached by professionals in the field. GARDENING is about planting new seeds, making, meeting, feeding, growing, sharing and cross pollinating each other’s worlds.

THE GREENERY 2017-2020

Four times a year, once per season, GREENHOUSE organized THE GREENERY . During THE GREENERY people working in the Mime, Dance and Performance field gathered for an evening of exchange and inspiration. An evening where discours was shared around relevant topics, where there was space to open up and reflect on artistic practices. THE GREENERY was a place for deepening and allowing ideas to ferment and sprout – guided each time by the changing seasons.

WE LIVE HERE

WE LIVE HERE is the yearly summer academy by which time is proposed for experimentation, research and reflection. Every summer, at the end of the season, a (small) temporary community of professionals in the performing arts and beyond is gathered, with the intention to work and think together.

WE LIVE HERE will take place from 5 – 9 July at the BAU Studio’s, Entrepotdok 4 in Amsterdam. We offer a five-day programma from morning until evening. During the week we will work with our body and mind.

WE LIVE HERE initially conceived by Nicole Beutler, was a GREENHOUSE project during 2017-20. Nicole Beutler Projects continues to produce it. More info here
