“…It seems that all three groups had similar processes when it comes to the dramaturgies. The initial division between the artists and the teachers aligns with the findings of Karlsen and Karlsen (2022), where the artists maintain their position within the arts without willingness to adapt their art to a school context, while some teachers, as Breivik and Christoffersen (2013) describe, are reluctant to see the potential of arts in education.…”

This article explores how teacher candidates articulate their experiences of a cross-sectoral collaboration with dance students in creating an artful encounter for pupils in primary schools in Norway. Through an arts-based inquiry, using clay as material of expression, groups of teacher candidates were filmed while creating a sculpture representing their processes. The creation process and sculpture were in turn analysed, revealing that the teacher candidates considered themselves to be scaffolding the artful encounter with the children in school, providing them with greater confidence as key personas in these artful encounters, and a better understanding of the creation of art. The analysis regarding the dramaturgy of the collaboration revealed that the teacher candidates experienced being co-creators in the project when they could focus primarily on unfolding the educational potential of the artful encounters.

“…Research about art-in-school programmes such as The Cultural Schoolbag in Norway points to challenges related to dance artists' freedom within the school curriculum. Further development is needed for engagement and collaboration between artists and teachers (Karlsen & Høeg Karlsen, 2022).…”

It is well-known that art and cross-sectoral collaborations are needed and have value in the educational sector. The aim of this article is to describe and problematise beliefs, norms, and experiences that are articulated in descriptions of collaboration surrounding dance teaching in educational contexts in Sweden. This article rests on social constructionist perspectives and is informed by discourse analysis to problematise the experiences of collaboration regarding dance education. The empirical material consists of focus group interviews with dance teachers, pre-school teachers, and school-age educare center teachers. Analysis is focused on the discourses that occur in the empirical material, where different educators describe their experiences of collaborations. Three discourses emerge in the result: first, dance as an eraser; second, the dance teacher as inspirer and physically competent; and finally, ‘Jack in the box’—dance as collaboration? The conclusion drawn from the results is that cooperation is common, but collaborations are not. If one intends to develop shared values, alignment, and equal power relations, collaboration is required. The importance of combining dance competence with pedagogical competence adapted to the specific educational setting is essential.

“…The number of members is slowly decreasing due to secularisation and increasing religious diversity; nonetheless, a majority of people in Norway use the Church for transitional rituals, particularly funerals. The number of people taking active part in Sunday services and other church activities is, however, much lower (Statistics Norway 2019), and only about 30% of the Norwegian population report believing in God (Karlsen et al 2019). Approximately 7% of the Norwegian population are members of other Christian denominations, among which the Roman Catholic Church, the Pentecostal Church, and the Evangelical Lutheran Free Church have the highest numbers of members (Statistics Norway 2019).…”

Reinscribing the Lived Body: A Qualitative Study of Extraordinary Religious Healing Experiences in Norwegian Contexts

Poor health often motivates people to engage in religious and spiritual approaches to healing. However, there is limited research on such experiences from a northern European perspective. This article investigates healing experiences related to Christian faith and practices in Norway by thematic analysis of 25 semi-structured interviews with individuals who have experienced healing of different ailments. In so doing, healing events across diverse contexts are characterised, and the results show that such experiences not only feature practices in which other people are present in prayer, preaching, and the laying on of hands, but also spontaneous extraordinary encounters with a divine being through visions and voices. The healing events are further described as experiences of transformational, powerful touch. In light of the lived body theory, these transformational experiences can be understood as re-inscriptions of health that are manifested in the intertwined bio–psycho–social–spiritual aspects of the body.
