Amina Sewali: Beatbox Workshop // at 12:15 and 13:45 in the Workshop tent
What if you mix, for example, Mozart and Robyn in one and the same song, with only your own voice? And then you create rhythms with your voice, beatboxing, which you put on top of the vocals. Then record a video at home and post it on YouTube. What happens then? Welcome to Amina Sewali's world! Come and create your own rhythms together with Amina!
The theater committee // at 12:30 and 14:00 pm in the Theater tent
- the performance where the Barnival audience helps decide the story!
Will 800 lions come down from the roof? Does the monster smell like puke or farts? Does the hero get laser vision or pink hair? Or is something completely different happening? You decide!
All stories have been created once. Some have thought about what the main character does, what choices the bad villain makes and whether the story ends well or badly. Someone has to make the choices so that exciting things can happen. Making a story is mostly about making choices - steal the plane or not, kiss the boy or not, hide or not, raise your hand or not. The theater committee is an improvised performance in which the audience participates in various ways and influences the action. Suitable for everyone from 5 years.
Green Melody // at 15:15 in the Workshop tent
Would you like to join an orchestra with a professional musician and try instruments made of plastic, wood, cardboard, metal? Did you know that you can play on rubbish and old toys? Here, the recycling mindset is communicated to the children in a playful way. Join saxophonist Frøy on the hunt for fine melodies and exciting sounds. Experience that music is everywhere, everything can be instruments and that everyone can play. A magical musical experience for 3-8 year olds!
England Brooks and John-Kåre Hansen // at 13:00 on the Main Stage
England Brooks and John-Kåre Hansen are two jazz musicians with a heart for the music and for its dissemination. England Brooks used to say "- I'm not a singer, I'm a storyteller". She is both. With her deep, soulful voice, she has thrilled listeners whether it's at a jazz club, concert hall or on NRK's Beat For Beat. Wherever she sings, she makes an impression.
England Brooks (62) was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. 15 years ago she made Bodø her new home. Northern Norway is considerably colder and far smaller than Los Angeles. But the people are warm at heart and have greatly contributed to England Brooks having his musical power strengthened in his new homeland. Together with jazz guitarist John-Kåre Hansen, we get to hear the duo's intuitive interplay with lots of play, improvisation and humour. There will be swinging notes and a twinkle in the eye when meeting the two jazz musicians.
Esport Tournament with Sebastian Stavland // continuous tournaments all day!
In 2018, Sebastian Stavland became one of the most high-profile Fortnite players in Norway. This spring, he has worked with several celebrities to promote esports, and collect money for the Cancer Society. Now he comes to us to play tournaments with and against you - who knows, maybe someone will actually manage to win against Sebastian Stavland himself!
There will be tournaments continuously throughout the day and there are prizes waiting for the winners! Everyone is welcome, experienced and inexperienced players, and we certainly encourage mum and dad to try their hand.
The Flying Seagull Project: Circus, magic and fun all day!
The Flying Seagull Project consists of musicians, actors, clowns, magicians, dancers, artists and all kinds of people who have goals in common;
To spread laughter and joy to those who need it most in the world. So far we have visited over 130 children in hospitals, orphanages, special schools, in slums and in refugee camps.
We believe that everyone has the right to a childhood filled with play, laughter and love.
We believe that those who have the most difficulty have the right to a break where they can just play and laugh, and forget everyday life for a moment. We believe that laughter prolongs life and that it is never too early, too late or too serious to spread joy to those around us.
The Flying Seagulls Norway is looking forward to spreading laughter at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival. It will be a wonderful mixture of fantastic performances, magnificent circus, silly conjuring and fun activities. We will have our own little area where things will take place throughout the day. This is suitable for everyone aged 0-100 and the only thing we are looking for is their laughter.
The income from Barnivalen will go directly to this autumn's big project in Asia. Over the course of 10 weeks, The Flying Seagulls will visit children and families on the run in Bangladesh, visit orphanages and institutions in India, as well as families who have lost everything in the natural disasters in Nepal. We want to visit between 10 and 15 thousand children, and see at least as many smiles.
Amina Sewali: One Woman Band // at 14:40 on the Main Stage
Amina Sewali's one woman band consists of Amina's vocals, Amina's beatboxing, various rhythms edited together on Amina's reading board, recorded in Amina's bedroom. With her voice, creativity and an iPad, Amina has sung her way from the girls' room to the Castle. In this concert, Amina shows the young people that a lot can be done alone, with simple means right where you are.
