It starts with why!
We all need safe spaces where no one is judging us.
Safe spaces are rare, especially for all the indigenous people around the world, longing to express their cultural heritage through their form of art. We want to change this by opening up the worlds first Sami Dance Center by the polar circle in Sápmi, Sweden.
We love to share and to meet other artists and now we get to live this dream. We want art to blossom and to thrive and we strongly believe that a living culture is strong when artists are free to create and explore and develop in their field.
And then what?
We offer the full package
See us as a production house for freelance artists, we are constantly updating the tools we have in our house to better help freelance artists to be inspired and to create.
We share openly about our way of touring and how to make a living from your art.
We offer a dance studio with a professional spring floor, an amphitheatre for presentations and solo performances, a music studio and a cool and inspiring green room area.
We can also help you with the letters of intent that you might need for your application.
Followed by how.
Focusing on what we have
We have some continous funding from the Region of Norrbotten and from the Swedish Arts Council and we are using all of it for artistic residencies. The rest of our everyday business is based on projects, consultancy and touring.
During our first year we opened up new ways for art to be included in conferences, company and cultural meetings and other reasons people want to meet up in our beautiful building. We offer art packages with conference as an add on, not the other way around.
