Can we afford to lose new artistic expressions and challenges? Share Music Sweden has the courage to test new music technologies and adopt innovative approaches. In particular, close collaboration with artists of different abilities in the process of creating new artistic works becomes a source of ideas and exchange of experiences. “Dawn at Galamanta”, collaborative work of the internationally renowned composer, conductor and trombonist Christian Lindberg, choreographer Helen Karabuda, Swedish Wind Ensemble and Share Music Sweden, is such a case. In 2012 the performance was presented in the programme of the City of London Festival.
Crossing the invisible boundaries has become our strategy, implemented in a number of projects that evoked a prominent national and international response.
Organized by IUGTE in collaboration with "ArtUniverse"
The development of Performing Arts requires fresh ideas and questioning of old norms and stereotypes. For 10 years Share Music Sweden has been creating spaces for people with different abilities to collaborate. In 2010 we received the London Ability Media International Award in dance and were described as an “exceptional and creatively brilliant company”.
The presentation will be held in the form of lecture with dialogue, photos and videos.
