FLOCK is an ongoing dance- and performance festival initiated by Anna Öberg in 2021. A multi-art work disguised as an euphoric dance party where the boundaries between scenic works, installations and mingling are blurred.
The upcoming FLOCK takes place the 19th of September 2026 @ Magasinet Falun. For more information please visit www.flockfestival.se.
“The theme arose out of a social crisis, which could now be realized and manifested in a program bursting with precisely – meetings between people and art”. - Danstidningen 5-2022”
The experience of being on a boiling dance floor has always been a great source of inspiration in my choreographic
work. To share the wordless experience of time, space and movement with other bodies.
Through FLOCK, I want to create an encounter for dance and performing arts that in different ways, and through a diversity of expressions and genres, takes its starting point in that particular experience.
The name FLOCK (herd) is a play with the word itself as well as the theme of the festival - "A flock is a group, cluster or family of terrestrial animals. Sometimes kindred spirits, sometimes united only by desire.”
For me, in this dark time of division, FLOCK is a dream come true.
Warmly welcome.
- Anna Öberg, initiator and artistic director of FLOCK.
