Today it’s a week until we inaugurate the 2026 edition of Step at Vara Konserthus, followed by eight days filled with dance for young audiences.
Step 2026
In total, Step 2026 consists of nine performances and two workshops from three countries. There’s the outdoors performance Bare Rør by Panta Rei Danseteater where the pipes suddenly come to life, a vibrant performance exploring grief and death in DANCING WITH THE DEAD by Bobbi Lo Production, an acrobatic performance about playing together in Fritt fram by kompaniTO and an affecting performance about identity, upbringing and emancipation In Tony Tran’s Love Tenderly. There are performances about vulnerability and rustling paper in Papperssvalan by Memory Wax, an energetic celebration of togetherness in Pop! by Vince Virr, a glam rock dance theatre concert that playfully challenges gender norms in Rock me baby by Karstein Solli & Øystein Elle, an improvised and interactive dance performance that exists only here and now in En dans för ett ord by Regionteater Väst and a warm and a warm, non-verbal and funny family performance about biking freely in Tillie the Terrible by Tanja Andersson and Stefan Ostojić.
The festival takes place over nine days, from March 4–12. In total, the festival is comprised of almost 60 program items at venues in Härryda, Lerum, Mölndal, Ale, Vara, Stenungsund, Varberg and Göteborg.
The program in its entirety can be found here!
Professional’s program
Step’s professional’s program is a chance to meet colleagues, take part in artist presentations, see performances and hopefully get some new thoughts and perspectives. The program takes place Wednesday to Friday March 4–6 at Vara Konserthus, Lorry in Mölndal, Mölnlycke kulturhus, Folkteatern in Gothenburg, Kulturhuset Bergsjön, Spinnstudion, Atalante, Producentbyrån’s office and the Nordstan shopping mall. Registration is still open, so take the opportunity to let yourself get inspired during three full days of dance!
