“During the season 2015/2016 we staged 6 exclusive productions of
contemporary performing arts in Olomouc which provided the audience
insight into the present Norwegian dance scene. The productions, as well as
the workshops and discussions, were very popular among the audience
and received a great personal response. The project also involved Czech
artists who were stationed in Hammerfest for a month-long creative
residency. The outcomes of the Nordspiration project are newly acquired
personal connections, great cultural experiences and an exchange of
knowledge and skills which will resonate in all those who were touched by
this wave of Nordic inspiration.”
Simona Vičarová, coordinator of Nordspiration
“Through this exchange we mirrored our mindset, our artistic practice, and
our way of reflecting: a process that is ever so important to both the artists
involved as well as us as an organization.”
Susanne Naess Nielsen, Dansearena nord
