BandUke x2 / SKAPIA

2021 — PROJECTS

In Gjerdrum we collaborated with Skapia on songwriting and performing choreography

Skapia specializes in giving children and young people inspiration and knowledge to create their own songs. In Gjerdrum, the annual project was inspired by that concept and included both song writing and performance. The performance were replaces with recordings because of the pandemic. Nevertheless, the project managed to carry out choreographic work for one of the songs including a performance on the main stage of Gjerdrum Kulturhus. All the work on music and dance took place in association with professional artists and young people from Gjerdrum Middle School. The professional performers came from Skapia and Panta Rei Danseteater. As a fun fact, one of the songs was selected to play from the bell towers from Oslo City Hall throughout the summer of 2021.
