Winners of Gulljerven 2019

Cable puller of the year

• WINNER: By Proxy - Oss: By Proxy is nominated in the category Cable Puller of the Year because the performers in the production "Oss" pulled a total of 1 900 meters of cable for each performance. The production was on tour in DKS Oppland in February this year and in six days the company pulled a total of 11,400 meters of cable. That's 11.4 km of cable. At its longest, the working day lasted from 05:00 to 23:00. Something for the rest of us to strive for.

Feedback of the time

• Winner: NIE - Museum of Memories: Teacher feedback: "Have had a run of both teachers and students thanking us for allowing them to attend such a professional and good performance. "Can the school really afford for us to go to something so good?" asked a 9th grader, and probably learned a little more about cultural communication from the answer. Anyway, thank you: Thank you!"

Rotete touring car

• Winner: Citroen Jumpy. The Telemark Cultural Rucksack: "Winter, -2 and rain... there was something wrong with the brakes because it only took on one wheel at the front. So in inner Telemark, where there are a lot of uphills and downhills, it was a close-to-life experience many times over. A fun car to be sure! Got a puncture in the middle of the forest but no problems. Tried to drive faster than 82 km / h once but the only thing that happened when I pressed the gas was that it vibrated a lot more and drew 0.5l more per mile. I remember buying a Jonathan Richman CD at a flea market in Rjukan that I donated to the car and when I came back 3.5 years later, the same CD was in and still played well! Olav Tveitan at DKS Telemark and I have talked a lot about this car."

The most convoluted tour leg of all time

• Winner: Reidun Kristiansen - Turneorganisasjonen for Hedmark: a fantastic and 100% reliable coach. She is always available and answers the strangest questions from both schools and athletes in a pleasant and tidy manner. She's always willing to go the extra mile when it's needed, and always works to ensure that the touring framework is optimal, for the benefit of the students' art experiences. 
• Winner: Trygve Apalset - Den kulturelle skolesekken i Sogn og Fjordane: You won't find a nicer and more helpful tour manager for a long time. Rebooks flight times so that the performers can get home faster, provides clown noses when needed. Fixes new accommodation when mountain passes are closed! Trygve Apalset is always available, always welcoming and friendly, and is more than happy to accommodate special requests.

Partner of the year - at home alone

• Winner: Andreas Humlekjær - cohabiting with Eirin Schou Fævelen, Madam Pysj: When Andreas Humlekjær started Madam Pysj, he thought he would have the opportunity to tour the country with his new company. It didn't work out that way. Instead, his partner, Eirin Schou Fævelen, was on the road for much of the year. Eirin is constantly at work and with 247 performances spread over 158 tour days planned for the 2019/20 school year, Andreas Humlekjær must sit at home alone in his apartment in Oslo for at least 158 days.

• Mads Nygård - married to Kari Ramnefjell, Teater Joker
• Renate Lind - cohabiting with actor Alexander Rindestu, Rimfrost Productions

Oldcomer of the year

• Winner: Guandaline Sagliocco: Guandaline Sagliocco established the Sagliocco Ensemble in Porsgrunn in 1988. Sagliocco Ensemble had its international breakthrough in 1997 with "The Story of the Fallen Hero", which won the award for Best Performance at Festival Fringe in Edinburgh. Guandaline Sagliocco does not give up. It is admirable that she has had a continuous artistic practice and has been so steadfast in her artistic work for so long. She is often alone on stage. Her solo performance "Voff! Art" has been performed 800 times and seen by over 90,000 audience members.

Open class

• Winner: Håkon Skoge, Turneorganisasjonen for Hedmark: Håkon Skoge is nominated in the Open category for his work for The Cultural Rucksack. Håkon speaks for the school arts with commitment and wisdom. He sees the DKS scheme as a whole and often asks constructive questions about practice and organization. He is currently concerned that cultural policy principles such as arm's length should also apply to DKS. Håkon Skoge is a skilled leader of the type that is needed in the field.
