We invite you to create together with Norwegian artists!

Perhaps you know 13 - 19 years old teenager who would love to dance or play an instrument? Maybe you are hiding away your inner actor, write poems or can whistle like a pro? Can you do tricks with a boll, or maybe you want to become a part of a project and perform even if you have no obvious talent, but think it sounds like fun?

Norwegian choreographer Silje Solheim Johnses intends to create a performance at the Arts printing house in Vilnius and wants to work together with teenage boys and their family members from Lithuania! The performance is panned to be created during four workshop weekends and some evenings in October, and it would premiere at the international festival KITOKS’23 in January.

While creating the performance there will be assembled a professional team of artists, which will consist of a set and costume designer Kristine Gjems (www.kristinegje) as well as a musician and filmmaker.

Participation in this project does not require much preparation: the performance will be created together during rehearsals. All of the participants of the performance will receive a reward.
