ABOUT FARGESPILL
Fargespill brings together children and young people from different cultural backgrounds to create performances through music, song and dance. At weekly rehearsals, they explore one another’s cultural heritage with curiosity and respect, sharing songs, rhythms, dance traditions and stories from their lives.
The Fargespill approach
At the heart of everything we do is a simple question: “What do you have?” rather than “What are you missing?” We see every person as someone with something valuable to contribute, and diversity as a source of creativity and connection.
The participants’ contributions form the foundation of our performances. Working with professional musicians and artistic instructors, they bring different traditions and contemporary expressions together to create something new. Their voices shape both the creative process and what happens on stage.
Fargespill is more than a performance. It is a way of meeting one another that recognises each person’s strengths and creates opportunities for belonging, collaboration and artistic expression.
