About us

Mainly we work with theatre/drama, art, dance/movement, poetry and music. Apart from these subjects some of our work is project-based, often we receive suggestions from our participants which lead us on.

Performances and productions

We are outgoing in the sense that we give performances and exhibitions, produce film and sell self-manufactured products.
We are often invited to participate within the existing cultural scene but also at other arrangements.
On our own initiative we do performances, art exhibitions and seminars/workshops.
For example: someone suggested that we should write and from this a study circle was born. The result is two fantastic books of poetry. The filmmaking project derives from a similar process.

Important cornerstones

Pedagogy: How to teach and how to learn new things is essential. The different subjects enrich each other, for example: dance and the awareness of body/room enriches the art subject and vice versa.
Artistry: Creativity and Art as means of expression and communication is emphasized.
Professional identity: Participants at the workplace choose to work as art-practitioners.

History

With Sensus as head of responsibilities a two-year project called “the Drama Project” was carried through. The purpose was to offer people with intellectual disabilities an opportunity to work two days a week with drama. Subjects such as art, music, movement and drama were a part of this. After the end of the project many of the participators wanted to continue working on a daily basis. Sensus began co-operating with the City Mission of Gothenburg and after a positive resolution from the Procurement Company of the City of Gothenburg Kulturlabbet was founded in the year 2000 as a full-time workplace.

Our vision

The vision of Kulturlabbet is to inspire and be inspired by culture in all its forms.
