The Shake Down is a collaborative project that invited a cohort of 10 young people from Latvia and Norway to co-curate two international performing arts festivals: Homo Novus in Riga (September 2022) and Bastard in Trondheim (April 2023). The teenage curators participated in a 15 month exchange and mentoring program that supported them in exploring festival making and curatorial practice. Given time, space and resources, they proposed outstanding festival programmes, shifting the understanding of what the festival could be, asking to whom does it actually belong and bringing their own urgencies. The Shake Down is supported by EEA Grants.
