Last week we carried out the first round of our new workshop Vågade Vågor that has been specifically created for special schools. This week and the next we’ll continue this incredibly rewarding work with children and youth at Thorildskolan and Kullenskolan in Kungälv!

Together we explore movements inspired by water, animals and plants. We create sounds with trash and build shapes using our bodies. Using each student’s own prerequisites, we create a safe environment where everyone dares to wave in their own way.

We’re so incredibly happy that the Swedish premiere of our latest performance Moby Dick will be hosted at Skånes Dansteater in Malmö, Sunday the 21 of November at 4 pm!

“In a wordless landscape, we let the stillness carry us forward and wash over us with a deafening silence. We wait. For courage, for something new. For the spark that will make the body’s rhythm explode and then find peace.”

Moby Dick is a place and a state of mind. A performance with absolute presence, existing in the borderlands between dance and installation. The piece is created by acclaimed Italian choreographer Chiara Bersani who, during the last couple of years, has gained great success with her solo piece Gentle Unicorn.

Saturday September 25 we are delighted to present the performance Hannah Felicia at Teáter Slava/Tonsalen in Huddinge! We’re so excited about finally getting out to perform this wonderful duet again.

Hannah Felicia is about sisterhood and the relationship between two people. Or are we perhaps merely seeing two sides of the same person? That longs to be seen, accepted and loved.

Choreographer Lára Stefánsdóttir often uses the dancers own conditions as the starting point. During several years, she was artistic director and choreographer for Iceland Dance Company, and she has also been awarded several prizes for her own works. The music for Hannah Felicia was created by Icelandic composer Högni Egilsson, who has released music on celebrated record label Erased Tapes and created music for the interactive project Project XO for Sadler’s Wells in the UK. The sound design was created by Þórarinn Guðnason.

Where: Teater Sláva & Tonsalen, Kyrkogårdsvägen 2, 141 62 Huddinge
When: Saturday September 25 at 5pm and 7pm
Ticket price: from 100-180 sek

Finally the time has come for the premiere of our recorded audio description for the performance Miramos!

During 2020-2021 we’ve worked alongside Audiosyn, a company working with various aspects of audio descriptio, and a reference group consisting of people with people with experiences from audio description in performing arts to help us create a recorded version for our children’s performance Miramos. And now we finally have the great pleasure of premiering our work at Världskulturmuseet in Gothenburg, Saturday September 11 at 1.30 PM.

There is no extra charge for the recorded audio description and there is also no need to pre-book the headphones. But since we only have 15 sets, it’s a first come, first served deal.

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 is for ages 4-8 and families. Spinn’s dancers Felicia Sparrström and Hannah Karlsson are joined by guest dancers Annika Vestel and Britta Kangas/Emilia Wärff. The performance includes classical music by composers such as Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy and Camille Saint-Saëns.

Where: Världskulturmuseet
Cost: 80 sek for adults, free of charge for children
Additional information: Limited number of seats. For children ages 4-8 years old and their grown-ups. The performance will be audio described. You don’t have to pre-book the audio description.
Location at the museum: Studion

Sunday September 5 the time has finally come for the premiere of our new performance Moby Dick!

A year later than planned, we are now increadibly happy to premiere Moby Dick as part of this year’s edition of Italian festival Oriente Occidente Dance Festival in Rovereto on September 5 at 8:30 pm.

In a wordless landscape, we let the stillness carry us forward and wash over us with a deafening silence. We wait. For courage, for something new. For the spark that will make the body’s rhythm explode and then find peace.

Moby Dick is created by acclaimed Italian choreographer Chiara Bersani who, during the last couple of years, has gained great success with her solo piece Gentle Unicorn. On stage we meet dancers Hannah Karlsson, Felicia Sparrström, Annika Vestel and Britta Kangas. With stunning lighting design by Emily Lavebäck and with music that is as dreamy as it is suggestive, Moby Dick is more of a place and a state of mind. A performance with absolute presence, existing in the borderlands between dance and installation.

Moby Dick is a co-production with Oriente Occidente Dance Festival and Dansnät Sverige. Part of the performance was created during a residency at Vara Konserthus during spring 2021.

On September 1, Dans i Nord presents a showcase day for Norrbotten and this year we have the great honor and joy of presenting Miramos as part of their amazing selection! The cast in Piteå will be dancers Emilia Wärff and Izabell Makiela.

The program is for children ages 2 and up to High School. It’s free of charge for anyone presenting dance performances or who are otherwise working for and with dance.

Location: Piteå, Studio Acusticum, Black Box
Date and time: September 1 at 12.00 – 17.00

Registration is open until Wednesday August 25.
