Hardcore Workshop Exchange ( 17 - 26 November 2005, Malmo, Sweden) Hardcore Workshop Exchange is a comprehensive collaboration project between the Western Balkans and the Nordic region. The idea of the project was to strengthen relations between artists from the two regions and to develop cross-border artistic collaboration within the Balkan and Nordic countries. The aim of this project was to enrich the artistic environments of both regions. Artistically, the project focuses on contemporary dance in the two regions, and is designed to function as an exchange of ideas, expertise and artistic styles between choreographers and dancers from the Western Balkans and the Nordic region. The following countries were represented in the project: From the Balkans: Serbia, Croatia and Macedonia, and from the Nordic region: Norway, Sweden and Finland. The initiative of HWE is split into two phases, of which the first phase - in November 2004 - took place in Belgrade, Zagreb and Skopje, while the second phase - in November 2005 - took place in Bergen, Malmø and Helsinki.
