NB8 Circle Mentoring Program is a capacity building mentorship program and network for freelance dance producers. In 2027, NB8 will carry out a one-year mentoring program where 8 mentees will be selected through the open call and they will be matched with an experienced mentor from another country. The length of the program is one year. 

The program aims to develop the production and management skills across the field of dance. The mentoring sessions aim to support the mentees to develop their own production/management practices, as well as strengthening the competences needed to initiate local, Nordic, Baltic, international and cross border activities. 

NB8 Circle Mentoring Program is intended for managers and producers from the Nordic and Baltic region. Selected mentees are expected to have some management education and/or some years of experience in professional management work within dance/the performing arts. 

The mentors will be professionals with knowledge and experience within arts management in the independent and institutional performing arts field.
