Nordic
Masterful folk music with fresh attitude! Nordic is a folk music band, and yet not. With
roots in as well as a great knowledge of folk music, the trio experiment freely in a quest
for new expression.
The result includes film-like compositions filled with soundscapes, rhythms, groove, reggae
and improvisation.
The unusual setting of cello, nyckelharpa and mandolin gives the group its own unique
sound and contributes to Nordic’s experimental expression.
Awarded with a Swedish Grammy as “folkband of the year” 2011. With an infectious
charm and joy for playing, the band has had success both in Sweden and abroad.
Erik Rydvall – nyckelharpa, Anders Löfberg – cello, Magnus Zetterlund – mandolin.

Norrdans
Norrdans, based in Härnösand, presents high quality modern dance through the four
northernmost counties in Sweden. Since 1995 Norrdans has presented variety of works
by contemporary choreographers to audiences of all ages. With artistic director Mira
Helenius Martinsson, Norrdans continues to produce works by already established
heavyweights of modern choreography as well as searching for new, fresh talents and
possibilities of collaboration.
Doppelgänger by Forsberg/Nordberg (premier September 2012) tries to make ideas about
democracy and interaction visible and places itself in the space between reality and what is
performed. The dancers use choreography meant to surround and interact with six visitors
from the audience. These six participants are equipped with headphones and are given
instructions through them to create and participate in the common activities on stage.

Nylands Quartet
The Nylands Quartet is a group of four folk musicians who explore and combine musical
traditions from Sweden and the United States. The young musicians share a passion for
both tradition and the crossing of musical boundaries. Their fresh arrangements have
consistently moved and impressed audiences in Sweden and the group is ready to bring
its distinctive blend of styles to North America in 2013 and beyond.
While each of the four is a multi-instrumentalist, all are accomplished fiddlers with roots
in a wide range of regional styles of Swedish and American fiddle traditions, ancient and
modern. Together they create a sound with four fiddles that sings, drives, and bounces.
When they throw into the mix a cello, a banjo, or a Scandinavian mandola, their sound
spirals into unexplored territory that simply must be heard.

Olof Persson
Olof Persson, choreographer, dancer and visual artist works with moving images in
performances, installations and video. The project Me – every body, volume 1 consists
of nine sequences for the stage. It is a dissecting of movement in shape and time: Body.
Simple, and yet very complex. Everything we do, redefine and produce is occurring
directly or indirectly in relationship to the body. Our thoughts, motions, meetings and
life in general would not take place if we weren’t built after the present structure. Over a
long period of time nine different sequences have been created, extended and modified at
different locations in the world.
Me – every body is a collaboration initiated by Olof Persson, Dia Center for Arts, with:
Robin Rimbaud, Tate Modern, Helena Fredriksson, New York Fashion Week, Pierre
Proske, Ars Electronica Futurelab, Lina Räftegård, The Royal Theatre of Copenhagen,
Mike Skinner, MoMA PS1, Jean-Louis Huhta, The Cullberg Ballet and Rebecca Evanne,
Helsinki City Theatre.

Paloma Madrid
Dance Company
Paloma Madrid is a Stockholm based choreographer and dancer. She is currently working
with an ensemble of four dancers selected on their specific dance skills such as ballet,
flamenco and street dance. Her work is an exploration of the relationship between dance,
body, gender and movement as well as of the limits and the resistance of the dancer’s
body. Her work also investigates the possibilities of the mind to re-think what we as
individuals or as a society believe that choreography and dance are, can be and look like.
Dance For Apartment (D.F.A.), a concept invented by Paloma Madrid, is one of her
long-term projects. The main idea is a dance performance that you can borrow from the
library to your home, just like a book. The dance takes place throughout the apartment
and the borrower/borrowers become part of the work. D.F.A. adapts to each apartment
and is in constant development and transformation as Madrid’s and the dancer’s research
develops. The main question of D.F.A. is, who is the dancer?
