Babymandag spesial: Building beginnings

Welcome to baby theatre!

Building Beginnings is a dance performance for children aged 0–3, created and performed by dance artists Catharina Vehre Gresslien and Katja Henriksen Schia.

In Building Beginnings, the room is filled with sculptural textile figures that create a playful, safe and tactile landscape. The sculptures are made of loose parts inspired by pipes, hoses and lumps—modules that can be connected and assembled in new ways. The performers bring these textile figures to life in different ways.

This is a journey through an imaginary landscape, where a singing tree gradually transforms into a body with arms that are far too long, or a tiny creature grows bigger and bigger as it makes its way through the room. Towards the end of the performance, the children are invited to explore the space together with the dancers.

This is intended for anyone at home on parental leave with a baby. There are two performances, one at 10 and one at 11.

The project is supported by FFUK.

Venue: Deichman Grünerløkka, Schous plass 10, 0552 Oslo
