Teater på Valsen (Travelling Theatre)

The project Teater på Valsen visited, in February and March 2012, three villages in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality: Ådum, Stadil-Vedersø and Fjelstervang - with performances, workshops and cultural barters.

The activities were held over two intensive days in each village.

In each village there were:

– played two performances, one for the youngest children
   and a family performance for all ages.
– held at least four workshops for children, teenagers and adults.
– held a streetparade though the city with lively
   adverticement of the project.
– held a cultural barter with dinner and singing games as
   a grand finale.

The cultural barter actively involved the locals and their creative abilities and targeted citizens of all ages.
