This week we continue to present Miramos at Hagateatern in Gothenburg, so there are still opportunities to see this fantastic performance!

So far we have received a lovely review from Gothenburg paper GöteborgsPosten’s critic Lis Hellström Sveningson who wrote:

“The four characters, who are introduced separately, are then woven together in various constellations. There are both timid collisions and curious attempts at meeting each other. Eventually, a generous connection, where everyone is welcome and fits in regardless of manners, arise. A sensuous expression for simply being who you are.”

But the children also seem to like what choreographer Torgunn Wold has created with the dancers and the rest of the production team:

“It was fun the whole time. And exciting in a different way. I would also like to have the longest arm in the world. And the tomato in the middle, she felt like a kind queen.” – Freja

On May 10th and 11th we’re presenting the performance Skirtpower at the main stage at Folkteatern, making this the Gothenburg premiere for this gem of a performance!

Earlier this year Skirtpower took home the award for “Sensory Orgasm of the Year” the 2019 edition of Scenkonstgalan 2019 in Gothenburg. From the jury’s motivation:

“A piece that activates our senses. It vibrates, we tremble. Our pupils dilate and close in time with the pulsing lights, in time with the pounding of the music and the movements of the bodies. A liberating dance that reminds us to give our bodies the room they need to be fantastic, and not to let anything stop us.”

Skirtpower is about the skirt as an ambiguous symbol of our society’s view on our bodies. About different codes for masculinity and femininity and expressions of sexuality. That the skirt, throughout history, has been a garment communicating masculinity and power, but how today it’s so clearly a feminine garment. Skirtpower is a study on forbidden bodies and movements in skirt, about sexuality and power. And about tenderness.

Skirtpower is presented on Friday May 10th at 19.00 and on Saturday May 11th at 18.00.
Tickets are between 140-230 sek/each.

Already on May 3rd you’ll be able to get a taste of the music from Skirtpower when Lisen Rylander Löve – who has both written the music and also performs it live during the performance – has a release party for her new solo album Oceans, containing music from Skirtpower. It’s free entrance and more information can be found at Atalante’s website or in the Facebook event.

In connection to the premiere at Frölunda kulturhus last week, we also took the opportunity to shoot a new trailer for our latest performance Miramos. We’re so excited to now be able to share this with you all!

A huge thanks to the amazing Lina Ikse who produced the trailer and an equally huge thank you to Frölunda kulturhus for letting us spend a couple of fantastic days there! And of course: thanks to everyone who’s worked with this performance in any way, you know who you are.

During weeks 16-17 we will present Miramos at Hagateatern in Gothenburg. Read more about this at Hagateatern’s website and book your tickets at Kulturpunkten.nu

Since just over a month back, Felicia Sparrström is one of Spinn’s new dancers, something we’re incredibly pleased about and proud of! During Spring she is both part of Miramos, that’s presented at Hagateatern during weeks 16-17 and in Skirtpower at Folkteatern in Gothenburg on May 10-11.

Since fall 2016, Felicia has been part of Spinnunga and has participated in amongst others the performance Livsvägar och Tillfälligheter in 2018. She has also been a dancer in the Spinn performance Florere and was part of Rovereto Choreographic Lab in Italy, Autumn 2017. She is also the first person in a wheelchair to work with a graduation production at Balettakademin, in a piece by Moa Lund.

This week Felicia has been invited to Candoco Dance Company in London to work with the company under the direction of British choreographer Theo Clinkard. The work in London is part of the initial preparations for Candoco’s coming production set to premiere this Autumn.

The day has arrived! This Thursday, April 4th we finally premiere our new performance Miramos, choreographed by Torgunn Wold. The premiere takes place at Frölunda kulturhus at 09.30 with a second performance at 11.00. Miramos is for children aged 6-9 and families and here you can book your ticket!

In Miramos we meet four unusual creatures who are on a visit to our blue-green planet. They investigate our world with curiosity and fascination. But where do they come from and what are they actually doing here? Miramos lets us in on a magical and playful journey outside of time, amongst colours, shapes and imagination. We experience the beauty and fragility of nature, and know that all living things on Earth belong together and need each other.

On the stage you meet Spinn’s dancers Izabell Makiela and Felicia Sparrström who are joined by guest dancers Annika Vestel and Britta Kangas.
