ᐊᖓᑯᓴᖅ ANGAKKUSSAQ

(Nuuk, Kalaallit Nunaat)

Angakkussaq,is a theatrical adaptation of the award-winning teen novel, Those Who Run In The Sky, written by Aviaq Johnston from Igloolik, Nunavut. This is the story of Piturniq, a young hunter, who journeys through the spirit world to find Taktuq, a lost shaman, from whom he must learn to be a great shaman for his people. This interpretation aims to reflect Aviaq’s intention to create a powerful story for Inuit youth, steeped in Inuit traditional knowledge, worldview and mythology.

 ᓄᑲ ᐋᓕᔅ Nuka Alice

(Sisimiut, Kalaallit Nunaat)

Nuka Alice Lund is one of the pioneers in the revitalization of the Inuit drum dancing and singing in Greenland. Not only is she a keeper of songs that she passes along when she teaches, she also creates her own drum songs. She learned drum dancing from Pauline Lumholt in 2009 and that same year she also created the first of her own drum songs. Over the years she has grown her repertoire and now performs a full set with her own songs and songs she has co-written with others that she interweaves with storytelling. Today she focuses on drum dancing full time and dedicates this part of her life to performing, creating and teaching drum dance songs in order to keep the tradition of the Greenlandic Inuit drum dancing and singing alive. A tradition which has been inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2021.Nuka Alice teaches Inuit drum dance at Knud Rasmussenip højskolea, the music school Serravik and also as a guest teacher at the National Theatre School of Greenland.
