Hedda Days: Artist talks - Scenekunstbruket

At Hedda Days this year, you can join two artist talks. Scenekunstbruket started Kunstnersamtaler during Showbox 2020. The format is simple; we put two performing artists together and let them talk freely for half an hour. Some of them have met before, others have not. What they have in common is that they work with performing arts for children and young people.

The Hedda Days: Artist Talks 1 — *Jenny Svensson in conversation with Katrine Strøm, at Rådstua in Tromsø.*

In collaboration with RadArt, writer and performing artist Katrine Strøm and dance artist, choreographer and playwright Jenny Svensson met at Rådstua in Tromsø. Hear them talk together on Monday, June 6 at 11.00.

Dance artist and choreographer Mia Habib and dance and sound artist Jassem Hindi have curated "Oslohendelser" - a series of six performative events that will take place in Oslo during the fall in collaboration with Kloden teater and TraP. From Kaffelageret in Oslo, they talk about this, as well as how they met and the work they have done together. Listen to the conversation on Thursday, June 10 at 11.

Katrine Strøm is a writer and performing artist from Andøya. She trained at the Academy of Puppetry in Østfold and studied writing at the University of Tromsø.
