AVIAJA Dance
From Haderslev to Kulusuk and Tórshavn. Working with young audiences in the Nordic regions

Are you curious about dance and choreography for young audiences – and would you like to learn from fresh experience with touring in Nordic areas? Then join us in this meeting with your collegues. 

AVIAJA Dance just finished one and a half years of touring with “Speech/less” in Denmark, Greenland and Faeroe Islands. They are now ready to share their experience with you. Both what concerns creating a dance piece for children, and in regards to meeting children and their adults in schools and other spaces outside of the theatre venues. In small – and very small – Nordic communities. 

Sarah Aviaja Hammeken, Alexander Montgomery-Andersen and Mathilde Rosengren Bruun will host this informative and playful meeting – in an open and warm environment where knowledge sharing is in focus, with the aim to support a beneficial and sustainable Nordic touring practice.

Sarah Aviaja Hammeken is a choreographer and dancer educated at Balletakademien in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2019, she established AVIAJA Dance, where she creates performances that draw on her Greenlandic origins. Hammeken is driven by a deep interest in engaging with society through the body and dance. Alexander Montgommery-Andersen is an Arctic artist with a Greenlandic background, and with a degree in dance from the Bårdar Akademiet, Norway. He works primarily with a Nordic perspective and is very interested in exploring how the physical boundaries of the body are expressed aesthetically – and arouse emotional responses in the audience. Mathilde Rosengren Bruun is a singer, songwriter and pianist. She is educated as a rhythmic singer at Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium in Aarhus. Rosengren Bruun writes music under the name VELA in the genre of electronic pop.
