In the fall of 2020, I developed and led an interdisciplinary art project at Storhaug School, where 3rd graders delved into the themes of birds and biodiversity. Through art, the children became familiar with local birdlife, explored the surrounding nature, and created their own texts, sound compositions, sculptures, and dance. The project was based on the movement language, environment, and vocabulary of birds.
Involved professional artists:
Liv Runesdatter (singer, composer, music educator, and leader of the project and Song Circus), Signe Irene Stangborli Time (singer/Song Circus), Marianne Stenerud (storyteller), Stine Janvin Motland (singer/Song Circus), Tove Kommedal (visual artist), Mari Flønes (dance artist, dance educator, and PhD candidate at UiS)
