BAU is an organization for artistic development and innovation within the Amsterdam performing arts, with a focus on independent dance and performance. By doing so, we improve the future prospects of the broadest possible group of independent makers, thus professionalizing and strengthening the field. We do this by:
BAU functions with a BAU Committee of independent makers in the dance, performance and mime sector who contribute to the content of BAU. With this team, which gives advice and thinks along, we maintain the bottom-up mentality, we continue to see what the need is and we can determine the course from the field.
Since its founding by independent makers in 2015, BAU has been committed to filling gaps and developing new formats to give the Amsterdam dance, performance and mimeveld field the tools to strengthen itself from the bottom up. By doing this, BAU gives the independent scene a face and thereby contributes to the development of dance and performance arts in The Netherlands.
