Quote from review of Anki Gerhardsen in Nordlys 09.08.2020:
«Kalde Mønster» is something as rare as a dance film. A film about dance in the north, about dance in small communities and about the power of dance. Beautiful and moving, and accompanied by very beautiful music.

"Kalde Mønster" (Cold Patterns) is an episodic short story film where the interaction between the young people in the film is central, both as fellow human beings and dancers. Closeness, rhythm and the power of dance are the key elements. The action is substantiated with quotes from older sources and interviews about dance in Troms and the surrounding areas. In the film, you get to experience folk dance that has long roots in the world, and which has taken on its unique shape in Troms: including finger polka, pole dance, reindeer and long dance. The dancers are young people from the Arctic Tact project who have received training in dance material from the county. "Kalde Mønster" shows the circularity of folk dance and folk music, and we hope you will join us in dance and music.

Stellaris DansTeater's 40th jubilee performance "Svaner i stein" (Swans in Stone) is a leap of thought from old to modern times visualised through several scenes. In a universe of movements and colours, joik and film, moods are created around petroglyphs and hunters.

This is the film from the performance.

Human Habitat has its origin in the clash between untouched nature and growing industry in the Arctic and explores the oscillation between human resistibility and fragility. A female dancer takes us on an associative, non-narrative journey through emotional states facing the changes from a sustainable to a destructive relationship of humans and landscape.
