Archauz
Archauz was founded in 2007 and was the first choreographic centre of Scandinavia. It was shut down in 2011.
Archauz was created after a French model and aimed to create regional anchorage for modern dance. The objective for Archauz was conveying and presenting European dance on the two stages of the house. In addition the centre aspired to cultivate modern dance to a widely recognised expression in Aarhus, the region and Denmark.

Every year Archauz presented approximately 100 productions by artistically leading dance companies from all over the world, as visiting productions and co-productions.
Archauz offered training for professional dancers and artists in residence.
Archauz also cultivated growth in modern dance through offering young dancers artistic education. The core of the work for youth was the company U-Kompagniet providing dancers aged 13-21 the option to practice dance as an artistic expression.
