This week Spinns on tour in Gothenburg performing Hannah Felicia and Miramos for schools and preschools. On March 16, it’s time for Frölunda Library to host the performance Hannah Felicia.The show is organized by KUBO, you can find more info here.
You are welcome. Into a world that’s almost private, but one that we share together. Where the love between two people tells a story of rivalry, tenderness, fellowship and sensuality. About an invisible line between liking and desiring.
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.

Recently, Danskompaniet Spinn has started a collaboration with Vara Konserthus and is their new Artist in Residence.
Being an Artist in Residence at Vara Konserthus means that as an artist, for a limited time, you get the opportunity to deepen and test your production idea. This is a way for Vara Konserthus to create artistic development and new performances while the audience gets a chance to get to know an artist a little more closely.
Spinn och Vara Konserthus will produce a production called Svansen , which is aimed at children and young people. Vara Konserthus Helena Helén, producer for children and young people, looks forward to the collaboration:
– We are so happy that Spinn is coming back to us for another residency. It’s also extra fun that Spinn has an exciting collaboration with renowned choreographer Minna Krook. She is an interesting choreographer of performances for children and the fusion between her and the dancers in Spinn will be exciting. We will have the premiere of the performance in Vara and then we will show it to all the municipality’s preschools.
This week Spinn focus on training and development for Spinn’s dancers and artistic director. The dance artist and contact improviser Penny Chivas is visiting Gothenburg for International Cultural Exchange with the support of the Swedisch cultural council. Spinn participates in Daily training for dancer. Wich during the week focuses on promoting the professionalization of the cross-functional practice. This is in collaboration with Danscentrum Väst, Språng and Regionteater Väst. The classes are aimed at professional dancers with and without disabilities.
