Oslofjorden Danser is a series of roving performances alongside and around the Oslofjord, giving the audience the chance to experience contemporary dance in new and unexpected settings. The project is a collaboration between Panta Rei Danseteater and Dansens Hus. The production has been a huge hit with audiences every year since 2021.

By giving a new setting to familiar places, the ambition is to make more people interested in dance art, and promote the amazing natural environment of the Oslofjord. The backbone of Oslofjorden Danser are the solo works performed by dancers in the TILT Grow talent programme – combined with projects for local performers and professionals. Together, this gives us the opportunity to create unique and evocative experiences, far beyond the edge of the stage. The dancers develop their solos in collaboration with selected, influential choreographers. You can experience dance art from a boat, or on foot with a guide.
