FRIKAR X has selected ten of Norway's most interesting motion artists between the ages seventeen and thirty years old for a three year long training program.
FRIKAR X focuses on:
1) Individual training and development of talent and artist persona.
2) Contemporary dance combined with ancient knowledge from Valdres.
The talents come from different backgrounds including but not exclusively contemporary dance, jazz dance, competition dance, halling, African dance, break dance and hiphop.
FRIKAR X will produce three shows a year and tour both nationally and internationally. The training program is comprised of productions, tours, workshops in Valdres and Oslo, training camps, physiological tests, innovation labs and mentoring.
FRIKAR X is made possible with support from Talent Norge, Sparebankstiftelsen DNB, Norsk Tipping and Eckbos legat. It collaborates with Fjelldansen - Regional centre for dance, which is supported by Art Council Norway, Oppland County and Valdres Nature- and Culture park.
