NextDoor Project creates choreographic art based on a socio-poetic practice.
Through artistic documentary, art-intervention and radical co-creation we open poetic spaces where most needed.

Since 2012 NextDoor Project has developed new cross- aestethic formats for citizen involvement and relational art stretegies with focus on equality and mutuality between citizens, artists and artwork.


Our artistic practice is founded in nomadic strategies travelling conceptual works inviting local artists, citizens and sites into the works.

We believe in the transformative potential of dance and the choreographic relation exploring how sensous exchange can awaken the collective mind and create connectivity and artistic citizenship across divisions and perspectives.

We produce in both local, national, nordic and global collaborations staging works at theatres, galleries, asylumcentres, nursing homes, townhalls, flooded basements, schools, daycare institutions, parks, museums and community houses.

NextDoor Projects artistic profile is lead by choreographer, dancer and auteur Ingrid Tranum Velásquez.

The works and artistic practices of NextDoor Projects has received recognition both nationally and internationally throughout the years, a.o. was the performance Paolo & Money awarded a Danish Performing Arts Award in the category Children & Youth performence of the year and in 2023 we were awarded the Scandinavian Business Award in the category Performing Arts & Citizenship Enterprise of the year.

Current works;
REMAINS
Research project creating connections between shop rooms in Scandinavia and Korle Lagoon in Accra, where the West have placed their wasteland for unwanted fast fashion, - far from our field of view, selfimage and consciousness. An apocalyptic coastal landscape. A redirected consequence of Western oversonsumption. Through exchange of sound, images and sensous components we awaken the connection between the two realities.

VI ER NORDEN - a decolonizing ritual with, by and for the nordic population. 
- VI ER NORDEN travels colonial and post-colonial terrains of the Nordics, facilitating through a performative situation the local debate about decolonization.
In a sensuous and co-creative space, we search for a decomposition of the inherited choreographies, forming the outline of a new landscape.
Next: Nynorskens Hus in Oslo, September 2025.
