Sammankonst is a creative relay involving students of dance and music production at Karlstad University and the Ingesund School of Music. This year’s performance is inspired by the River Klarälven and will be presented on five occasions, Friday and Saturday!
It is a long-standing tradition for dance students and music production students to co-create a public project based on their own creative forms of expression. The students are in their first or second year of study, and during the later part of the autumn term they have worked on the project within various course modules in their respective programmes.
THEME: THE RIVER KLARÄLVEN
This year, the students’ process has centred on the River Klarälven. The starting point and source of inspiration have been five different themes:
- Rapids and Waterfalls
- The Klarälven Salmon
- Meandering River Courses
- Log Driving
- Hydropower Stations
Through in-depth research on each theme, the students have gathered ideas and created different artistic interpretations. The music production students began by composing the music, which then formed the basis for choreographies created by students on the Dance Year and the Dance Pedagogy Year. The performance also includes props connected to the water of the Klarälven and its unique environment.
The project culminates in performances held at the Värmland Museum at the following times:
Friday 9 January at 15:00 and 18:00
Saturday 10 January at 11:15, 13:15, and 15:00
The performance lasts approximately 30 minutes. Free admission.
