That is why we continuously shift our focus to be at the forefront of development and to ensure a constant relevance and originality. We know it can be a bit confusing, nevertheless it is good for us to switch and change direction once in a while\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consistently, the work of K\u00f8benhavns Internationale Teater focuses on the performing arts, the city and the world with an eye for inspiring both the audience and the professional art environments in Denmark. The significant, the living, the original, the limitless and the vital are key words for both audience and development activities. KIT has introduced contemporary circus in Denmark and has been a major player in the development of performance and new dance in Denmark, while today Metropolis is recognized as one of the most important European players in the development of site-specific art.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"687\" class=\"wp-image-12995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/F5-957-16A-NewNowDancers.jpg\" alt=\"KIT Nitechanges New Now Dancers Trekroner Copenhagen Fools 5 1985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/F5-957-16A-NewNowDancers.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/F5-957-16A-NewNowDancers-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/F5-957-16A-NewNowDancers-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/F5-957-16A-NewNowDancers-700x470.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption><br \/>NITECHANGES by New Now Dancers at Trekroner \u2013 Fools 5 (1985)<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The city as stage<\/strong><br \/>K\u00f8benhavns Internationale Teater has always been a theatre without a theatre building and has used the city as its stage. Streets, squares, industrial buildings, in-between spaces, the harbour, new urban development neighbourhoods and the outskirts of the city have been transformed by artists and (re-)discovered by the public. By doing so, KIT has helped to inaugurate many new spaces for culture, including the former Kanonhallen, Dansescenen and Turbinehallerne.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K\u00f8benhavns Internationale Teater works network-based and has always collaborated with other theatres, cultural institutions and actors in various areas of society &#8211; local, national and international &#8211; to create an open, vibrant and reflective city and a relevant, critical and innovative cultural scene. Out of these diverse collaborations, institutions such as CKU \/ Centre for Culture and Development and the Hamlet Scene at Kronborg have emerged.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K\u00f8benhavns Internationale Teater is an urban theatre in constant interaction and counter play with the city and always open to new initiatives and projects&#8230; and with a diverse artistic practice in the luggage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"744\" class=\"wp-image-12997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Together-356-3.jpg\" alt=\"KIT Together Valsev\u00e6rket Amager Copenhagen Fools 4 1983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Together-356-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Together-356-3-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Together-356-3-768x558.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.metropolis.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Together-356-3-700x509.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>TOGETHER at Valsev\u00e6rket, Amager \u2013 Fools 4 (1983)<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MANAGEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K\u00f8benhavns Internationale Teater&#8217;s artistic management consists of Trevor Davies and Katrien Verwilt.
