Dear audience; old and new friends. We are finally ready to announce positive news about Ravnedans 2020. Like many other festivals, also Ravnedans will be strongly affected by Covid-19. We are still in planning mode, and happy to announce that we will be hosting this year's festival as a one-day event on Saturday, 11th July.
In order to take care of our audience and artists safety, we have chosen to make Ravnedans 2020 an outdoor festival, with performances in the beautiful nature of Odderøya, followed by RavnBar. The artists of this year's program are curated in collaboration with the Danish artist collective Nordlys, who will also be artistically responsible for directing the performance as a whole. We will of course make all artistic choices for the audience meeting with a strict focus on safety for both the audience and artists. Foreign artists who were to be part of this year's program, but could not participate due to travel restrictions, have been invited to the festival program for 2021.
We in Ravnedans are very grateful that this year's artists and partners have been willing to work with the needed premises to meet the safety requirements. We hope to be able to use the situation to create a different and special Ravnedans, and we look forward to inviting you to festival experiences this summer as well. Full program release is just around the corner. Stay safe, save the dates, and hope to see you at Odderøya on 11th July.
Sincerely
Tone Kittelsen
