ricky harris scholarship award for nordic Ice theatre !
We are extremely proud and honoured to have received the 2024 Ricky Harris Scholarship Award, granted by American Ice Theatre.
In June 2024, our founder and artistic director Malgorzata had the ultimate pleasure to choreograph, teach and perform at the American Contemporary Skating Festival 2024 in
Boston, MA, USA.
Malgorzata taught an on-ice class entitled Interdisciplinarity in Movement Improvisation, choreographed a short piece: Hurtin´ for an ensemble of 9 skaters, and
performed a duett -A Dialogue, with our long time collaborator - Polish dancer Aga Kociolek.
She also had the opportunity to learn from fellow festival presenters, and came back with a huge amount of new inspiration and knowledge.
Thank you, American Ice Theatre, and the CEO´s Kate McSwain and Garett Kling for this recognition -as well as for your hard work towards organising this event every year.

Melting Point Tour 2023 Completed !
It has been a magical journey - equally challenging and fulfilling, demanding and fun, complex and exciting.
Especially in our hometown, Bergen, where some audience members were so enchanted after seeing the first performance that they went on and bought the tickets for the second one, seeing the show twice in a row!
-for countless hours spent brainstorming, discussing, planning, and helping Margaret to put all of this together. And naturally for the magic created by his composition and reimagining the Schubert´s work in a way only he could!
