GJENSTAND OG FORTVILELSE (OBJECT AND DESPAIR) has been selected to play at the MOVE Dance Festival on 29 Aug 2026 at Teater Innlandet, Hamar (NO). Ingun Bjørnsgaard and dancer Catharina Vehre Gresslien will also share a workshop for young dancers during the festival, and Bjørnsgaard will participate in an artist talk.
In OBJECT AND DESPAIR, human fallibility is examined in close collaboration with dancers Catharina Vehre Gresslien, Edith Strand Askeland, Ludvig Daae, and composer and musician Jan Martin Smørdal.
Klassekampen’s critic wrote: “The new work by the master of Norwegian contemporary dance is a cultural event – and a digital detox.” And Dagsavisen called the performance “a fun, unpredictable and wild play with our different social roles.”
Black Box teater has launched the book #9 Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt: Pli à pli (1998) by Jonas Øren, in their series Scenekunstklassikere. On 3 June 2026, a presentation and conversation with Jonas Øren and Marie Bergby Handeland, author of #8 Hagar Malin Hellkvist Sellén: Rosa löften, was led by Snelle Ingrid Hall, dean and Associate Professor at the Academy of Dance, Oslo National Academy of the Arts.

With THE UPHEAVAL, Skånes Dansteater and choreographer/environmental artist Philippe Blanchard explore ecologically sustainable approaches in the performing arts. Developed specifically for its location, the work moves between dance, installation, and immersive experience.
THE UPHEAVAL unfolds both outdoors in Kungsparken and inside Malmö's former casino, now temporarily activated as a space for imagining what a future art museum could become. Through practices of stillness and movement, the project cultivates an attentiveness to the environmental web of relations in which we are already implicated. The work explores opacity not as obscurity, but as a way of remaining open to complexity, interdependence, and the unknowable dimensions of relation. THE UPHEAVAL is a collaboration between Skånes Dansteater, Malmö Konstmuseum and Malmö Sommarscen. Performs 3-9 July 2026 at Konstmuseet i Kungsparken in Malmö (SE). Choreography by Philippe Blanchard in collaboration with the dancers. Read more about THE UPHEAVAL here.

Byström Källblad’s dance and voice performance CALLING WE ARE HERE will be presented at Sergels torg in Stockholm (SE) on 3 July 2026 as part of Kulturhuset Stadsteatern’s Parkteatern program, På Sergels torg and Dans i stan / Cirkus i stan. CALLING WE ARE HERE celebrates the strength and collective voices of girls and women across generations. Through dance, movement and powerful vocal expression, the work transforms the public square into a space of visibility, connection and belonging. Inspired by the tradition of kulning – the far-reaching calls once used by women in the borderlands of Sweden, Norway and Finland – it echoes voices from the past while speaking directly to the present.
On 29 Aug 2026, Byström Källblad premieres the new work SHE KNOWS at Karmasbo smedja in Skinnskatteberg (SE). The work explores treasures carried through movement and voice – unearthed, shared, and passed on without leaving a trace on the land. Choreography, a four-thousand-year-old text, and music weave together in a poetic performance that carries questions from the past into the future.
Supported by Kulturrådet, Stockholms stad, Region Västmanland, Region Stockholm, Konstnärsnämnden and produktionsresidens SITE Stockholm 2026.
