Mobility funding covers assistance costs for disabled artists

Noora Västinen, a dance artist and teacher who uses a wheelchair, received mobility funding from the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture to travel from Finland to Copenhagen to perform at the PÅ TVÆRS 2026 festival.

Noora travelled as part of the Kaaos Company group, who were invited to perform Sister, I can feel it in my bones, and teach a workshop at the festival. The performance is an autobiographical, comedic and occasionally serious work by the two performers, Noora Västinen and Christelle Dreyer. The performance travels into a rich world of laughter, wisdom and the desire to be at peace as part of the spectrum of life, as oneself.

The mobility funding programme also covers assistance costs for disabled artists, helping to pave the way for greater equality and accessibility in the cultural sector.
