About us
Share Music Sweden is an arts organisation that works nationally and internationally.
Vision
All human beings should have the opportunity to express themselves as artists in a world where differences are seen as valuable.
Mission
We work to enable artists to appear on stage as a matter of course regardless of their abilities to express themselves. We arrange meetings where the focus is to create together with others. With us people can develop their potential without restrictions. We inspire, involve and provoke!
We work through
- courses and performances in dance, music, theatre and art. We make it possible for people with and without disabilities to create together. Professional artists are in charge and provide high artistic quality. We offer new impulses in common and uncommon stage places.
- national and international projects linking the various parts of our activities to each other. We are a co-operative organisation with the strength emanating from large networks in several sectors. Through this mutual exchanges and inspiration are provided.
- supplying knowledge from our unique experiences in workshops, lectures and other activities. We act as a resource of knowledge on regional, national and international levels.
The uniqueness of Share Music
The mixture of different art forms and people with varying abilities is the unique thing. The creative process is always based on the experience of the participants.
Background
