RISK:RECLAIM:ENTERTAIN is a creative collective whose aim it is to create open platforms for art events particularly in Copenhagen.
With our open platforms we strive to create spaces where artists working with performativity can meet across different artistic fields and their related somewhat isolated environments. At the same time location is of great importance to us. We intentionally choose to place our events in unaccustomed surroundings to show that good stage-art experiences can also occur outside of the established stages. In this way we wish to convey performativity to an audience, who are not regulars in the world of stage-arts.
