A stage for the whole of Sweden.

The entire population of Sweden is our audience. An audience that can join and become members in the Riksteatern local association. Almost 40, 000 members in more than 200 local associations make up the popular movement Riksteatern. Our organisation has been built on passion and commitment since 1933. You will find us in your local area and we travel all over the country. We create our own productions and also present performances by other companies. We work professionally and we work in our spare time.

Dansa Rennie!

We are here. For you.

The very first Riksteatern associations were established 90 years ago and we began to tour.

Even if you live in the smallest of towns, your your local Riksteatern theatre association can still offer grand experiences. Close to you – regardless of who you are or where you live.

Every year our volunteers spend an average of 280,000 hours of their lives providing theatre, dance, music, circus and other performing arts to some half a million people. As an audience, you experience it. As a member, you make it possible.

An infrastructure for performing arts.

We bring promoters and producers together. We produce our own tours and arrange performances from other producers.

We mediate and develop dance, music, theatre, circus and activities for children and young people; the Cullberg dance company is part of Riksteatern, while Riksteatern Crea works purposefully to bring the performing arts in sign language to the stage. We are passionate about what we do, we are firebrands with an enthusiasm for arranging, conveying and producing performing arts – for everyone, everywhere.

Cullberg

Cullberg is the national and international repertoire contemporary dance company in Sweden, continuously co-creating to make contemporary dance relevant for the many.

Founded in 1967 by Birgit Cullberg, Cullberg is a part of Riksteatern.

Together with choreographers and their teams from around the world, Cullberg are exploring ideas on how dance can be defined, produced and presented. Those explorations are the pillars of a company that is constantly in motion at the heart of the international arena. Cullberg is led by artistic director Kristine Slettevold and managing director Stina Dahlström.

Riksteatern

The general public in Sweden becomes the audience. The audience can then choose to become members. The members form Riksteatern’s more than 200 local associations which, together, make up Riksteatern.

In addition to this, Riksteatern comprises a variety of other affiliated organisations.

In each county, there is also a regional Riksteatern association that serves as a coordinating body for the local Riksteatern associations and affiliated organisations.

THE MEMBERS

Almost 40,000 aficionados of performing arts are members. They own the organisation. At the local Riksteatern association’s annual meetings they appoint the members of the local board and may adopt their activity plan for the year.

THE CONGRESS

Riksteatern’s ultimate decisionmaking body meets once every four years. The event brings together representatives from the local Riksteatern associations to make joint decision on objectives and guidelines. The congress also elects the Riksteatern Board for the coming 4-year period.

RIKSTEATERN CONSISTS OF:

GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES

MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL AGREEMENTS
