On March 8 it´s time to put your premiere shoes on, when Spinn’s dancer Emilia Wärff presents her solo performance Denna sida upp. Using her own experiences as the starting point, and with the gripper at hand, Emilia tells a story about the Swedish model that’s both abstract and absurd. Denna sida upp is a performance where function becomes form, where the Aid Central’s everyday selection is elevated, shifted, and transformed into something dreamy, headstrong, and beautiful. All of it to the rhythmic and playful music of musician and composer Anna Gustavsson.
The performance premieres on March 8 at Ulricehamn’s library at 5 p.m.

Last week, Spinn’s staff met during a business day. Among other things it was a startup for Spinn’s environmental work. We talked about how Spinn can work to reduce its climate footprint. Many interesting thoughts and questions were raised. What are we already doing that is good? In which areas can we improve? What does accessibility look like to make sustainable choices when it comes to travel, for example? What can we do artistically to raise the climate issue? It was an exciting start for Spinn’s environmental work. Continue to follow the development of our environmental work on our webpage.

Now we´re leaving January behind us, a month with a lot of startups for Spinn. Among other things, Spinn’s guest dancer Felicia Sparrström shared her experiences from the project Diverse Nordic Dancers. A project she participated in during the fall of 2022. It was a half-day filled with wheelchair dancing, acrobatics, and reflection.
Diverse Nordic Dancers was a project where dancers with and without disabilities worked together with choreographer Marc Brew. Together they created a new dance performance for CODA festival 2022. The performance Un-be-known premiered at the CODA festival in Oslo on October 14, 2022.
