BRIDGES

For children +4 years. An audience with complex and learning disabilities.
An exciting room is created with challenges and play.

Balance, sway, move between and below. Sounds from the harp and large rhythmical gongs build bridges between music and dance, between you and me. The technician moves amongst us making the space glow at the same time the two dancers move with each other and the audience. The percussionist creates sound that rolls like waves across the space. Underneath the silk ceiling we embrace the space, movement and each other.

After the performance the audience is welcome to play the instruments and move amongst the scenography in their own pace together with the performers.

SHELTER TREES

For children +3 years
We are building a cabin, a cabin of branches

Shelter trees is a philosophical dance performance where we experience the joy of sharing moments with a friend and the somewhat prickly feeling that can occur when collaborating and building something together.

The sighing are in the trees, in the leaves, on the ground, in the pine needles, in our woollen hats, in our hair and in the pockets of our jackets.

International tours:
2015 Visioni di futuro, visioni di teatro Bologna, Italy
2016 Semanas internacionales de teatro para niñas y niños Madrid, Spain
2018 EJU MEKLET Riga, Latvia

ISLANDS

For children +3 years. And an audience with complex and learning disabilities.
Events in sculpture, dance and music

The performance could be described as an experimental installation, consisting of islands in dialog with each other, where the audience are invited to take part. Together we create units in space. There is always time to explore and store information. Together with a percussionist, pianist and dancers the audience can touch, move, see and feel. A performance and an installation in one.

FRICTION

For children +4 years
CREATES WAVES OF SOUND AND MOVEMENT

Friction exists around and within us. When people meet or when we go on a slide. Sometimes fast sometimes slow. Can you feel the heat appear rubbing your hands? What do you feel in your body when emotions are in friction?

The stage offers a field for play and exploration. Two dancers and one musician explore many different objects. Some are slippery, others are rough. Some are leaning, while others are standing. There are endless possibilities and spaces in-between when we play.
After the performance the audience is invited to explore.
