RIKSTEATERN and SCENKONST SÖRMLAND
Riksteatern is Sweden’s largest stage for dance, theatre, and circus. We are both a state-funded cultural institution and a popular movement consisting of over 200 local national theatre associations and affiliated organisations.
Scenkonst Sörmland has the whole of county Sörmland as its field of work. In dialogue with the county, we produce, convey, and arrange current music, theatre, dance, and film, as well as conduct educational activities.
Together, we are part of creating the conditions for contemporary dance to reach audiences throughout Sweden every year. We make room for bold initiatives and artistry that broaden and renew both expressions and stories. Through dance, we want to act in our time and give audiences across the country the same opportunity to meet contemporary dance and become part of its future.
