By Tendai Makurumbandi, Artistic Director In Norway, we rarely speak of emergency in relation to the body. The systems around us function. Structures are in place. Safety nets exist. And yet, many bodies live with a constant sense of readiness — a quiet pressure to perform, adapt, and regulate themselves. To function well. To keep pace. This condition is not always visible. It does not announce itself as crisis. But over time, it shapes how bodies move, rest, relate, and take

Somewhere between the familiar and the utterly inexplicable lies a world full of strange things – hats that suddenly turn into something completely different, giant bead necklaces that can be used for all sorts of odd purposes, and shapes no one can quite make sense of. In Himstregimser og andre duppeditter , children are invited into a jungle of textiles, colours, and soft creatures, where curiosity and laughter fill the air even before the performance begins. Himstregimser

As we release our early bird festival passes today — with a 30% discount available from 1:00 PM — we can also lift the veil on one of next year’s major festival experiences: The Basement by Jo Strømgren, one of Norway’s most acclaimed choreographers. The performance draws us down into the darkness — both physically and historically — and introduces us to four women who don’t quite belong in our world, yet aren’t willing to disappear from it either. The Basement by Jo Strømgr

This year’s anniversary edition of the In2IT Festival has come to an end, and we are left with wonderful memories – told through bodies, movement, and encounters. The four days of performances, artistic meetings, seminars, and workshops served as a reminder of the importance of dance, not only as something to watch, but as something to take part in. It was especially moving to experience the audience’s response along the way – becoming co-creators in the festival through acti

Interview with artistic director Tendai Makurumbandi Could you share the artistic vision behind this year’s In2IT Festival — what ideas or feelings did you want the festival to evoke this year? This year’s theme, “ Tusen skritt, et sted ,” is about the many invisible steps that shape a journey — the quiet beginnings, the persistence, the moments of doubt and renewal. When I look back at how In2IT began, I see not just a festival, but a process of becoming — both personally an

Camilla Wiik. Foto: Ting AS In2IT is the festival that has perhaps given me the most goosebump moments. By Camilla Wiik In 2015, I was completely new to my job, and it was both exciting and inspiring to meet such a dedicated artist as Tendai. The IN2IT dance festival, as I see it, was born from a deep desire to bring dance to everyone and to strengthen dance as an art form in Møre og Romsdal. When the festival started in Sunndal, it might not have been easy to imagine how thi

10 years of movement, resistance and becoming IN2IT International Dance Festival marks ten years of presence, resistance, and becoming. “Tusen Skritt, Ett Sted” is a reflection on every step we have taken – not just as a festival, but as a living, breathing force for cultural change. Over the past decade, we have crossed borders of identity, language, and tradition, carrying with us the urgency of dance as a social practice – one that listens, one that speaks, one that builds

As the designer behind In2IT’s visual identity, she has followed the festival from a small idea to the established organization it is today. Along the way, she has gathered many memories and experiences that have shaped both the look of the festival and her own artistic path. How did you start working with the festival? I’ve been i
