WITH US
The start of this project is supported by Kulturbryggan
For artists
We are a production house for freelance artists and we offer a safe and judgement free space for creation. We especially welcome indigenous dance artists but our house is open also for artists from other art forms and cultures.
Recent production created at Jillat
Guoddi
Interdisciplinary performance by Ann-Sofie Kallok, Ánna-Katri Hellander, Sebastian Björkman and Anthoni Hætta with avant-garde doudje, music and dance.
The first Sami Dance Center is open in Vuollerim, Jokkmokk municipality in Sweden. This is a place for artists to create and meet and also a place for dance and circus performances. You can also plan your next conference here.
For programmers
Are you interested in a Sámi production or want to get in contact with any of the connected artists? We can also help you set up your own residency at Jillat or arrange for you to support a specific artist.
Featured artist
Sebastian Björkman
Sebastian is a dancer with his Sami roots in Ammarnäs but also among the families who were forced to migrate south from the Karesuando area in the 1930’s. Through his dance he invokes the voices of his origins while keeping one leg firmly planted in urban dance cultures. In his artistry he is exploring versatility as a mover, interested in the body as ancestral yet also experimental when it comes to claiming his own indignity through dance.
