Sign up for the Christmas party for the independent field
Do you also think there are far too few Christmas parties for performing artists in the independent scene? At UP, we love parties, and this year we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary, so we have the perfect excuse to host a big Christmas party for everyone!
Anyone with ties to the performing arts industry is welcome to sign up, and you’re invited to bring your collaborators, former colleagues, or good friends from the industry for a fun and cozy evening at UP.
We’ll be hosting the party at Main Studio, and we’ll make sure the atmosphere is really cozy. You’re welcome to contribute an artistic and/or entertaining performance.
And you’ll have the chance to add your personal touch to a communal long-table dinner.
Date: December 11, 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Location: The Development Platform for Performing Arts, Main Studio, Baldersgade 6, 2200 Copenhagen N
Practical info: Please register by December 1, 2026.
Participation is free.
We’ll have our usual affordable bar, but you’re also welcome to bring your own drinks.
– Put on your best outfit and dancing shoes!
What should we eat?
The meal is a community dinner where you’re asked to bring a dish or side dish for the long table. That way, everyone gets the chance to make their own personal contribution to the communal buffet.
In the registration form here, you’ll be directed to a shared overview of the buffet. Please list the dish you’ll be bringing to the table, and you can see what others have already planned.
If you’re unable to bring a dish, that’s of course no reason not to participate.
Will there be entertainment?
Yes, and you get to be in charge of it!
During dinner, you’ll have the opportunity to take the stage or the floor with a short performance. It could be a brief act, a song, a party game, a dance, a performance art piece, or a video presentation. The rule is that it must last no more than 10 minutes and require minimal technical setup.
We have a stage with permanent lighting, a video projector, a sound system, and a few microphones.
In the registration form below, you can indicate whether you’d like to contribute a performance.
Of course, there will be a dance floor and disco lights after dinner!
Has it really been 10 years since UP was founded??
Yes, it is. But it was only a little over three years ago that we opened our doors on Baldersgade with the beautiful rehearsal rooms and facilities you know today.
And it’s been seven years since UP last held a Christmas party—back then at our space on Otto Busses Vej.
Those Christmas parties are considered “legendary” among the UP members who attended them. There was a DJ battle, but otherwise they were held in much the same way as the one we’re hosting this year.
But we can make it even better at Baldersgade—don’t you think?

We look forward to seeing you!
