Up-And-Down-And-Up-
A bouncy, funny and interactive dance performance for audiences 4–8 years by choreographer Jernej Bizjak.
Dance for young audiences
‘Up-And-Down-And-Up-’ is an interactive dance performance that welcomes young audiences 4–8 years. A dance performance that invites children to experience how movement affects our mood, mind and attitude towards others.
A white bouncy castle rests on the stage and inflates during the performance. The castle becomes a common place to explore and express joy and happiness, for ourselves and together.
‘Up-And-Down-And-Up-’ invites you to a unique format, a “work-formance”, starting with a workshop and turning into a performance where the young audience drives the movement forward.
An outdoor performance
‘Up-And-Down-And-Up-’ is performed for free and outdoors on tour. No pre-event sign-up or tickets required.
The summer tour is made possible in collaboration with Hässleholms Teaterförening, Båstads Riksteaterförening, Riksteatern Helsingborg, Bjuv kommun, Burlöv kommun, Malmöhus slott, Landskrona Musik och Teater, Trelleborg kommun, Sommarlund, Dunkers Kulturhus and Skurup kommun.

It's great when your tummy bubbles with joy.
And makes you jump and dance around.
But what happens when the joy is gone?
Can you look for it and find it again?
